Me, Myself & Irene

DIRECTED BY: Bobby Farrelly

REVIEWED: 07-17-00

I fear that the end of the line has come for gross-out comedies, as Me, Myself and Irene exhausts every combination of bodily fluids in an effort to eke out one more disgusted laugh. The Farrelly brothers, who brought us the sine qua non of gross-out films, There's Something About Mary, reach the bottom in trying to top themselves in this intentionally revolting tale of a Rhode Island State Trooper (Jim Carrey) who must escort a beautiful young woman (Renee Zelwegger) past a gauntlet of evil police officers and corrupt golf course owners. If you feel that you must see what kind of comedy can be eked out of breast milk, sputum and the rectal insertion of chicken heads, then this is the film for you. If, like most of those who dwell above ground, you've had about enough of that, then I'd suggest staying home and renting some Three Stooges comedies--they're just as stupid, but you won't be forced to watch anyone defecate.
