Rhode Island State Trooper Charlie Baileygates has a multiple personality disorder. One personality is crazy and aggressive, while the other is more friendly and laid back. Both of these personalities fall in love with the same woman named Irene after Charlie loses his medication.
Me, Myself & Irene is a mid-tier Farrelly Brothers comedy that leans heavily on Jim Carrey's physical comedy and the split-personality gimmick. The plot is functional but thin—essentially a road trip with a comedic hook rather than a layered story. Carrey's dual performance as Charlie and Hank is genuinely energetic and committed, elevating what could have been a one-note premise, though the supporting cast is serviceable rather than memorable. Cinematography is workmanlike; the Farrellys never prioritized visual style, and it shows here with flat, TV-movie aesthetics. The split-personality comedy premise gives it some novelty over standard road-trip romcoms, though the Farrellys were already a known brand by this point. The ending resolves predictably and without much spark, wrapping things up in a by-the-numbers fashion that undercuts the more anarchic energy of earlier scenes.
