I watched the film again years later. I broke up laughing. Actors were very good, Farelly brothers had very good movies at that time.

This movie a real surprise. Its commitment to getting the viewer to laugh was relentless and, for me, successful. IMHO Jim Carey can be a bit much in some films, but here, he shines. He's over the top to be sure, but in such an artful way...such an intensely talented way...that his greatness as an American comedic actor oozes. He gives quite a show in so many different ways in this one movie. Renée Zellweger is wonderful as well. Her acting is a perfect balance to the zaniness of the film's story line. Her facial expressions throughout the film are subtly perfect and the viewer ought to pay attention to them. The rest of the cast, from Carey's character(s)'s three black sons, to the albino, to the midget and to the criminals and law enforcement agents compliment Jim Carey and Ms. Zellweger without pause. Watch it and enjoy this hilarious, offbeat comedy.

You know... as hot as the Farrelly brothers started with Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary, I don't think this movie was nearly on par with those. I know I may be in the minority here, but Me, Myself and Irene didn't strike a chord with me quite like the two movies prior to that. Jim Carey was on top of his game at that time but maybe on the down slide. Bruce Almighty was the only real hit he did after Me, Myself and Irene. Could it be that MM&I started the downward slide? Or was it him taking a role of God that started it?Back to MM&I. The jokes just fell flat and I've never been a fan of Renee Zellweger. There were some funny scenes but nothing memorable. Hey, it could have just been me. I think that the late 90's-early 2000's was a transformation of tastes for me. At any rate, I wasn't impressed with MM&I.

Jim Carrey does Jim Carrey, excessive as usual, and one may like it or not, but he carried forward this movie single-handedly.The main problem of Me, Myself and Irene, is the pace at which the story unfolds, very slow: a good 15-20 minute cut would have really improved the dynamism. There is no consistency whatsoever and you quickly get bored watching this muddled, interminable and totally uninteresting script, from where a particularly strange atmosphere comes out.The gags aren't that funny overall, of course a few ones are rather good and may crack you a smile, but they are too sporadic and lost in this almost 2 hour feature.
