Goofs:

Continuity: In the beginning of the movie when Charlie pulls into his driveway you can see that the two trees on either side of his front door are tall. When the movie gets to the point where Charlie is leaving for work and the boys are building an airplane the trees are short. When Charlie gets back from work on the day that Hank appears the trees are tall again.

Quotes:

Hank Evans: Charlie's like origami, he folds under pressure.

Jim Carrey and the Farrely doing what they do best.

There is probably no other movie coming out this summer that will produce more from the gut laughs than Me, Myself & Irene. Sure it's crude, sure it's vulgar and juvenile at times, but sometimes we just have to take ourselves back to when we were younger and used to laugh at things that we would otherwise find rather disgusting. The main treat is to watch Carrey transform from the sweet natured Charlie to the vulgar, Dirty Harry sounding Hank. Hank does things that not many people would even dream of, and it's a kick to see him get away with some of them. Equally funny are Charlie's three sons, who are highly intelligent, love their dad and use a certain phrase to great effect. Some may find this movie offensive and occasionally funny at times, but I found it enjoyable from beginning to end. A good way to blow off steam from a bad day.
