Review of Me, Myself & Irene (2000) by Movie K — 17 Jul 2010
Not the best from Jim Carrey. Wasn't as funny as it could be. 18 years ago, he marry his sweetheart Traylor Howard. Going back to their home, he quarrel with the limo driver Tony Cox. She apologise on behalf but their short conversation make both attract to each other.
She give birth to 3 black child and years later run away with Tony, leaving the 3 kids with Jim. He only been respected by the 3 kids but everyone in town no respect for him. His neighbour took his morning papers, the dog shit on his lawn, he become valet parking for a guy who park his car illegally, a young girl disobey him, a mother cut his queue at the supermarket.
Finally he crack down and become a notorious guy by the name Hank and goes on the revenge rampage. Later he is diagnose with split personality. Renée Zellweger is brought to the station for hit and run.
Jim is assign to escort her uptown. Richard Jenkins is the agent that took over. Her ex guy is dealing in drugs. A killer barge in the room and kill another agent. Renée hide in the toilet cabinet and later goes to Jim for help.
He didn't bring along his medication and while on the run he turn to Hank, causing mayhem. Manhunt for the duo is on. At a cafe, Jim insulted a albino waiter (Michael Bowman) and was reprimanded by Renée.
He apologise and the waiter follow them on the journey. When Jim awaken to good guy, he has plastic surgery to his nose and chin. At the motel, the waiter told Jim he murder his whole family and he came over to sleep with Renée.
The evil side lie to her he has changed and had sex with her. The next morning, the cops surrounded the motel. Jim's 3 sons force a cop to distract them. The duo were at the train when the ex find them.
He got knock out. They alight at next station and the agents chase after the duo. Jim was transisting between the good and bad and then knock down the agent and took a car. Renée alighted at the next station and the ex caught her.
Stuck on a bridge, Jim got his thumb shot off. The waiter shoot an arrow and kills the ex, all fell down the river. The duo were rescue by the helicopter the sons flying. When all is clear up, the waiter told Jim he was just bluffing about been a murderer.
When Renée say goodbye to Jim, she was stop at the road block. Jim propose to her and she agreed.
