... View MoreOverall: Honestly this is up there with some of Jim Carrey's better performances and a must but for me on Blu Ray. Some will not enjoy this movie due to it's humor and the fact that its main point of humor is Split Personality disorder which may offend some people. Nevertheless, I think this is a great movie and would highly recommend it.Good: Hilarious and entertaining from the offset and throughout. Each character is likable and unlikable when they need to be to help the plot progress and change the viewers feelings towards them. The acting is superb for all the characters as is the overall cinematography .Bad: The overall villain is not that interesting and quite weak to be honest. He didn't really have much, if any, purpose other than to score a pretty forgettable climax. The actual plot is never properly cleared up or actually explained but his is probably glossed over because who really watches a comedy movie for the though provoking and moving story. The music isn't the best and feels quite lazy at some points.Best Part: The fight scene between Jim Carrey and.... himself! 8/10
... View MoreIt is hard to believe a film as sick and trashy as this could have any admirers, but on the other hand, one person labeling those who would like it as "right wingers" is in itself an indicator of a pretty loony tunes view. And another reviewer thinks "gun nuts" would find shooting a poor cow six times in the head was funny! Are you insane?? I am a gun person and I was sickened by such a thing being humorous to a Hollywood moron. Some reviewers are more on the fringe than the actors who took the roles in this movie. This supposed comedy movie pushes beyond any limit in foul language, mostly applied to black characters, it has Carrey in his usual over-the -top trashy characterizations, the man simply goes way, way too far, every time, unfortunately in this movie there are too many opportunities for him to do so. The crudity and vulgarity displayed throughout this movie is so far out of bounds it stretches credulity. It is sad our out of touch, sick, Hollywood directors and producers think this sort of garbage has any value, any use to further advance or amuse a reasonable decent person in any category. It insults the sense of dignity and humor of all but the most scummy type of person, the ones who can't visualize anything without crudity, who probably can't say a three word sentence without three vulgar words. A reasonable, decent person is getting hard to find judging by the number of people who rated this cesspool above a one scale. To see Renee Zellweger doing this doesn't say much for her either. Carrey leans toward this type of crap, can't ignore his glee in stuff like this. How desperate can an actor be... washing dishes is honorable, starring in trash like this is not. Too bad it can't be rated zero.
... View MoreThis IS a funny movie. If a movie can make me laugh out loud, cringe at the character's embarrassment and still maintain my interest from start to end, then IMO, it has achieved its purpose as a comedy. Every time I have seen this film, it never fails to make me laugh. It's not supposed to be the most clever comedy nor does it try to be. The humour is crude and at times nasty, but the outrageous style in which it is executed makes it funny and I'm a fan. Although I'm not the biggest Jim Carey fan, I can still appreciate that he is talented and rather unique in his style and I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job in the lead role.
... View MoreCharlie (Jim Carrey) is a meek Rhode Island state trooper. His wife cheats on him and he refuses to acknowledge it. Even when she leaves with her lover, Charlie still raise the kids as if they're his own. One day he just snaps, and a new alter ego named Hank emerges. Charlie is assigned to escort fugitive Irene (Renée Zellweger), but all kinds of chaos follow Charlie and his alter ego Hank.The Farrelly brothers are trying to merge multiple personality with their usual gross out humor. The multiple personality bit isn't that funny by itself. When Hank goes off at first, it was mostly stupid, inappropriate, but importantly unfunny. Jim Carrey does get a few workable jokes in when he's with Renée Zellweger. She's great reacting to Carrey's insanity.I'm tempted to say that it would better if Jim Carrey would just be Hank. If Irene was forced to rely on Hank, I think there's a funny movie in that. The multiple personality is really just forcing the stupidity onto the movie.
