Me, Myself and Irene

Making fun of handicaps, the mentally ill and the mentally challenged with gross jokes and childish humor is all part of making a movie for Bobby and Peter Farrelly. With "Me, Myself and Irene," this formula does not change. Now with the DVD they add more insult to injury with commentary and deleted scenes that were too risque to put in the film.\n"Me, Myself and Irene" stars the theater-filling actor Jim Carrey as a Rhode Island State Trooper who suffers from "Advanced Dillusionary Schizophrenia with Narcissistic Rage." It is the common story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but with added jokes about albinos and dildos.\nEven though the movie is not the funniest starring Jim Carrey, and "Irene" is not the best of Farrelly movies, the DVD helps the film a lot. The movie is still funny, but some of the funniest, and most offensive, scenes were left out. One such scene is when Charlie/Hank (Carrey) brings home a watermelon to perform intercourse with while looking at a picture of Irene (Renee Zellweger). The next scene shows Charlie waking up with a bottle of hand lotion on the end table and a watermelon on the floor with a hole cut in it. The Farrellys' explain during their commentary they had just finished shooting the scene when "American Pie" came out and felt people would think the brothers were stealing other people's ideas.\nThat is really the only thing the Farrellys explain in their commentary. They explain that they do not know much about filmmaking and they talk about interesting stories that happened on the day of a shoot, but they do not remember any of them. The only thing that even interests the two while watching their film is the extras. Not the DVD extras, the acting extras. They individually point out almost every extra and explain why they put them in the movie; reasons include that "She\'s my wife," "That's my son," or "That's my barber." Those last three comments basically sum up the commentary.\nOther special features include behind-the-scene vignettes of individual scenes, which are actually interesting, and the hillarious "Breakout" music video by the Foo Fighters, featuring Dave Grohl as a man with a multiple personality disorder.\nThe movie is not the best by both the actors and the filmmakers, but it is in fact very funny. The special features are better than the average DVD, and it is worth seeing if everything else is rented.
