Title: A few scattered laughs, but mostly predictable
Review: Those Rhode Islanders are back with more crude humor and this time, they've erred. First, the film tries to be a police story with a comedy shell, when it might be better as a romantic comedy. It's already obvious that Charlie/Hank (Jim Carrey) and Irene (Renee Zellweger) are going to fall for each other. Why have a pointless chase story in the mix? But for what it's worth, it did have a few laughs. There is a scene with a dying cow that raises a few eyebrows, and I liked Charlie's three children, who grew up watching Richard Pryor and still live with their father. The ending was a little uninspired, but had a particularly funny moment that I won't spoil. Mostly, it's by-the-numbers Farrelly. I'd only recommend it to die-hard fans of those brothers.
Is the review positive or negative?
