The physical transformation is toned down by Carrey and this
not only makes it more palatable for not-usually-Carrey fans,
but funnier.
It is impossible not to like Charlie, but almost as difficult
to hate his alter-ego - who has appeared to defend himself
from complete humiliation under Charlie's gentle approach
to life.
Life starts to get difficult for our hero/s when he is asked
to escort a young suspect (Renee Zellweger) interstate and
finds that she is a target for crooked cops.
As you would expect, the story is a slightly off-centre variation
on chase movies as the pair (or is that trio?) try to stay
out of harm's way.
Adding to the good-guys line-up are Charlie's now grown-up
sons - who are large fellows and brilliant (just like their
dad). One of the funniest scenes of the movie is where they
are trying to work out the diameter of an egg. Why? So they
can see if it can be put it up the rear of a recalcitrant
copper without breaking the shell. The follow up scene will
have you wetting yourself!
Me, Myself and Irene is a no brainer that will have
you laughing your way into Politically Correct hell, as every
sacred cow is not only attacked, but milked for all it's worth.
The transfer to DVD is first-rate and while the sound lacks
a little imaginative use, the images are crisp, clear and
virtually free from artefacts and other problems.
Conclusion: Movie 85%, Extras 20%
