'Me myself and Irene' is directed by the Farrely Brothers, who previously were behind films like the hilarious 'Kingpin', Dumb and dumber and the recent 'Hall Pass' They require no introduction and many people are aware of the tone of their films. They have the ability to provoke laughter by using sex themes, disabilities and crude behaviour. Many people could mistake them for the 'scary movie' directors. This film is no exception. This is Jim Carrey's second film with the director duo. And he has pushed the boundaries of uncanny studiedness to the furtherest limits.
The plot revolves around cop who has to escort a hit and run witness, played by Renee Zellweger to New York as the authorities are after her. Her ex boyfriend gangster is also chasing her as he was who she witnessed behind the incident. The story is nothing special and unique, but this scenario gives the lead actors the opportunity to interact with each other to their fullest potential. Zellweger and Carrey share good screen space and their chemistry works wonders on the screen. I would rate this as one of the Farrelly brother's best movies. However I would state that this is not exactly intelligent comedy but more in the slapstick vain.
