-Jim

Zellweger
In
the
Farrelly
Brothers'
ME,
MYSELF
&
IRENE,
Jim
Carrey
plays
Charlie Baileygates,
a
Rhode
Island
State
Trooper
who
develops
a
split
personality
disorder
after
his
wife
leaves
him
for
an
African-American
midget
genius.
Due
to
years
of
denial
and
repression
while
raising
triplet
sons
left
behind
by
his
wife
and
her
lover,
Charlie
finally
gets
fed
up
with
people
taking
advantage
of
his
meek
nature
and
snaps,
taking
on a
lewd,
aggressive
second
personality
named
Hank.
Soon
afterwards,
Charlie
is
assigned
by
the
police
department
to
protect
a
woman
named
Irene
(Renée Zellweger),
who's
being
followed
by
some
shady
characters
who
want
her
dead.
As
the
pair
attempt
to
outwit
their
pursuers,
the
kind-hearted
Charlie
begins
to
fall
for
Irene,
while
battling
his
sleazy
alter
ego,
Hank.
Back
in
full
comedy
mode
after
his
more
dramatic
roles
in
THE
TRUMAN
SHOW
and
MAN
ON
THE
MOON,
Carrey
once
again
displays
his
outlandish
brand
of
physical
humor.
As
with
any
Farrelly
Brothers
film,
there
are
plenty
of
grossly
funny
yet
good-natured
moments.
(In
fact,
Charlie's
loving
relationship
with
his
three
brilliant
half-African-American
sons
is
one
of
the
film's
best
and
funniest
subplots.)
Above
all,
it
is
the
way
that
Carrey
juggles
the
extreme
personalities
of
Charlie
and
Hank--basically
waging
war
against
himself--that
shows
why
he
is
one
of
Hollywood's
best
comedic
actors.
