Me, Myself, & Irene. Bobby & Peter Farrelly, 2000.
😿😿😿
Edition screened: 20th Century Fox Blu-ray, released 2012. English language. Runtime approximately 116 minutes.
Summary: Depictions of violent animal abuse as comedy.
Details:
1) A diary cow is found lying on the road, presumably hit by a vehicle. From 30:45 through 33:09, Jim Carrey attempts to put the completely still cow “out of her misery” by repeatedly shooting, kicking, wrestling, and strangling her. It is shockingly violent and unfunny.
2) From 1:23:03 through 1:23:17 a man is seen with the head of a live chicken up his anus. The chicken is flapping its wings and the man is yelling for help. I kid you not.
The first 30 minutes of this movie were disappointing enough, but the scene with the cow is a total bomb and goes on forever, even if the viewer isn’t offended by the animal abuse. The chicken thing also is on the screen way too long. Even if those scenes were cut, Me, Myself, & Irene would remain boring, socially offensive in a just rude and not provocative way, and distinctly unfunny.
