Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

avrumeleh This movie a real surprise. Its commitment to getting the viewer to laugh was relentless and, for me, successful. IMHO Jim Carey can be a bit much in some films, but here, he shines. He's over the top to be sure, but in such an artful way...such an intensely talented way...that his greatness as an American comedic actor oozes. He gives quite a show in so many different ways in this one movie. Renée Zellweger is wonderful as well. Her acting is a perfect balance to the zaniness of the film's story line. Her facial expressions throughout the film are subtly perfect and the viewer ought to pay attention to them. The rest of the cast, from Carey's character(s)'s three black sons, to the albino, to the midget and to the criminals and law enforcement agents compliment Jim Carey and Ms. Zellweger without pause. Watch it and enjoy this hilarious, offbeat comedy.

Johan Dondokambey The story gets very much predictable as soon as you read the title and sees Jim Carey at the cast list. It will all be about a split personality on a man. The movie did well enough in taking its time to build on the background story of how Charlie unknowingly created Hank. But that's just about it. Besides Jim Carey's awesome performance, there's little more that this movie has to offer. Renee Zellweger did just enough for her parts. The story gets flawed as many of the scenes didn't have adequate transition and instead edited poorly that scene cuts feel strange. Chris Cooper and Richard Jenkins also didn't create believable characters since their screen time is often too brief.

blockheadry This film is hilarious, intense,interesting and... well, just fun ! This film had many, many moments that actually made me laugh out loud, although there are 1 or 2 scenes where the jokes are cheap, lazy or just fall flat. The Soundtrack is amazing, about 96% the acting is great, this is Jim Carrey at his best (in my opinion) The concept is actually very interesting, especially for a comedy film, Charlie and Hank are so different that they create a great contrast, even though they are played by the same guy (Don't worry it's not like Jack And Jill !)I would give this film 8.8 out of 10 if I could but as it is rounded, I give this film an 8

sddavis63 I have very mixed reactions to Jim Carrey's work. Sometimes I think he's quite good, other times both his performances and his movie leave something to be desired. On the other hand, I adore Renee Zellweger. She can make even a bad movie worth watching - for me, anyway. So, Zellweger was in this. It was worth watching.It was a decent movie and sometimes quite funny. Carrey's character Charlie is an officer with the Rhode Island State Police - "the best law enforcement agency in the country" as we're told many times. But after a marriage breakup, Charlie's life begins to fall apart. He's left with his three black sons (his wife had an affair and then dumped both Charlie and the kids) and just tries to get through life. Then he meets Irene (Zellweger) - a fugitive from justice who Charlie has to return to New York State. You see where this is going - and then comes the twist, as Charlie suddenly develops a split personality, as the arrogant Hank makes his appearance. Irene and Charlie (and Hank of course) end up on the run from corrupt cops.It's a fun movie. It's no comedic masterpiece, and it's a little too long for this type of movie (almost 2 hours), but it's quite watchable. It's also very crude at times. Charlie's three sons have an obviously favourite word (let's say it starts with "mother" and includes two more syllables and it occurs over and over and over.) Basically, it's neither Carrey's best movie, nor is it his worst. (6/10)
