Customer Rating: Summary: A Carrey classic!
Comment: I'm very surprised at all the subpar reviews of this movie. Comedies these days aren't generally very fulfilling in terms of plot(just look at most of Sandler's earlier films). If you go into a movie like this thinking your going to be watching the next schinlder's list then you are going to be wildy disappointed. I mean look at the Austen Powers series, those movies were huge and there is absolutelly NO real plot in any of the three. Crap happens in them sure and it seems to flow in some general direction, but its just a vehicle for the bits stuck in between.
That said, this movie has some truelly hilarious moments in it and I think is one of Carrey's best. I'm all for movie's like 50 first dates or stuck on you which were very funny films but were still sweet and meaningful thematically, but this film is just hilarious and twisted, thats all there is to it. In no other movie can you find a scene of someone getting beat down by a sex-toy, no big budget movie anyhow.
If you love
Jim Carrey then you probably love this movie, just don't go into thinking you going to get anything more out of it than the need to stitch your spleen.

Summary: Kind of funny
Comment: This is the only
Jim Carrey movie I've ever liked. I think it is partly due to how much I liked his costar in this film. They were both quite funny and
Jim Carrey didn't seem to use so much goofy over-the-top physical humor in this one (which is what makes me not like his films generally).
Customer Rating: Summary: 5 star funny movie, 1 star treatment on the Blu-ray release :-(
Comment: What the heck is going on with the studios that pull out favorites from their libraries and then proceed to put less content on the Blu-ray discs than they did for the DVD releases of the same films? Seriously, if you are going to put out a library title, make darned sure that you offer up a reason to actually spend the money to upgrade and move to Blu instead of just keeping the DVD release and living with it.
I love this movie. It is wicked, deranged, twisted, warped, and all of the other similar words you could pull from a Roget's thesaurus that mean the same basic thing. It is also insanely funny.
Jim Carrey plays Charlie Baileygates, a member of the finest police force known to man. A man who is just too darned nice, and who has let the world treat him as a doormat for far too long. Eventually all of the abuse that Charlie has taken overwhelms him and an split personality arises within Charlie that releases 'Hank' upon the world. Hank is Charlie's mean and wicked alter ego, and thanks to an on screen battle between the two personalities and appearances by Hank at the absolute worst time for Charlie we get to see a riotously funny movie.
Renée Zellweger also stars and adds to the fun in this movie as an individual that Charlie must safely transport on a road trip. While transporting her, Charlie and Hank fight the internal struggle within Charlie to bring his personalities together so he doesn't wind up causing himself or others harm, as well as perhaps losing his dream job working as a Rhode Island state trooper.
The DVD version of the movie is a classic for me. It offers several nice extras, some of which were inexplicably left out of this Blu-ray release. I really wish the studio hadn't gone that route as I'd love to recommend this title for purchase, but rewarding such tactics just seems completely wrong to me. The bare minimum would be to keep everything that was on the DVD, and really customers should expect to get *more* for their money when being asked to 'double dip' on buying these library titles. Getting less is not to be rewarded, so I'd have to say rent this title or get the much less expensive DVD release instead of the Blu-ray here. While the picture quality is better on the Blu-ray, it's not enough of a bump to really make paying for this disc worth it. At least not for me. :-(
