Six years after Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey reunited with Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly for this anarchic comedy with a hint of romance. Charlie (Carrey) is a good-natured Rhode Island state trooper who likes helping people. But years of internalizing his frustrations about his work and his family have caused Charlie to develop an alter ego: Hank, an abusive, violent, sexually compulsive police officer. Charlie can keep Hank at bay with medication, but just barely. When Irene (Renee Zellweger) finds herself in legal trouble through a series of misunderstandings involving her ex-boyfriend, Charlie must escort her on a long drive to New York for questioning. After Charlie loses his medication, he and Hank wind up vying for her affections: Charlie wants Irene to marry him, while Hank has more brutal intentions. Me, Myself, and Irene also features Chris Cooper, Robert Forster, and Jessica Harper, as well as Anthony Anderson, Mongo Brownlee, and Jerod Mixon as Charlie's rotund, African-American sons. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Jim Carrey returned to comedic form in this from-the-hip comedy, which arrives on DVD courtesy of 20th Century Fox. The picture, presented in a 1.85:1 widescreen format, is fantastic; colors are bright and clear, especially in the outdoor sequences. The sound is a crisp Dolby 5.1 presentation. As for extras, this DVD does not disappoint. There's a commentary from Bobby and Peter Farrelly, a host of "making of" featurettes, and a video for the Foo Fighters' video "Breakout." However, the real treat for fans of the movie is the bevy of deleted scenes. Offered with or without a director's commentary, these scenes help to expand certain plot threads and add additional humor to others. Much as they did with their =X-Men DVD, Fox offers this film in an "extended branching version," which allows the deleted scenes to be inserted into the movie. A logo pops up to let the viewer know when a deleted scene is playing. This feature also allows viewers to jump to behind-the-scenes footage from the movie for certain sequences. Regardless of what one thinks of Carrey or the gross-out style of the Farrelly brothers, =Me, Myself & Irene is worth a look on DVD. It's a great example of what the technology can do, and why it's fast becoming the preferred medium in home entertainment. ~ Jeremy Brown, All Movie Guide
