Me, Myself and Irene
film — USA — 2000

4.5
Jim Carrey is a respected comedian on the other side of the Atlantic. But he still does pretty lame films. And if he does a good film - nobody watches it. MM&I was quite a popular film, which meens - it is surely dumb. But a film being dumb doesn`t always implicate it being also bad. Well, in this case it does. Charlie is a nice Rhode island cop, but his life is nowhere near as nice - his wife left him, his three kids are black, nobody except for the kids respects him. And he`s got a split personality - there`s this guy Hank living inside him, who unlike the always optimistic Charlie, is a silly tough guy. Charlie (and Hank) get involved with Irene, a former girlfriend of a mafiozo. But the problem lies in the fact that both of them (Hank and Charlie) fall in love with Irene, being jealous one on another. And there are cops following the whole three of them (the four, if you wish, as they pick up an albino guy called Whitey). Still, there are very little laughs in this film, and nothing except for laughs it even doesn`t want to offer. Oh, I almost forgot, that it`s a Romantic comedy. So, be it, it`s still boring, not funny and everything like that. Making silly faces doesn`t always work, just as its proven here.
