Me, Myself & Irene

In the quiet suburbs of Rhode Island, a gentle state trooper lives a life of routine courtesy and unremarkable duty. Charlie Baileygates is the kind of officer who smiles at every passerby, shoulders the weight of his badge with humility, and keeps his own problems neatly tucked away. Beneath that calm exterior, however, lies a fragile balance that is threatened the moment his prescribed medication runs out, forcing him to confront a side of himself he has long suppressed.

That hidden side emerges as a brash, unapologetically bold counterpart named Hank, an alter ego whose reckless confidence is as intoxicating as it is dangerous. The clash between Charlie’s steady, caring nature and Hank’s volatile swagger creates a comedic tug‑of‑war that drives the film’s heart. While Charlie strives to be a dependable father and a respected community member, Hank revels in breaking rules and speaking his mind with a swagger that would make a western hero jealous. The tension between these two personalities fuels a series of misadventures that blur the line between order and chaos.

When a routine assignment places Charlie alongside a determined woman—Irene—they are thrown together on a journey that quickly spirals beyond the ordinary. Their partnership, forced by circumstance, becomes a crucible where Charlie must juggle his responsibilities, his family, and the unpredictable eruptions of Hank. The road ahead is littered with oddball encounters, sharp‑witted banter, and the constant threat that Hank will seize control at the most inopportune moments.

The film rides the fine line between slapstick comedy and genuine emotional discovery, using the absurdity of an internal split personality to explore themes of identity, responsibility, and the quest for inner equilibrium. Its tone stays light‑hearted yet surprisingly tender, inviting viewers to root for a man trying to keep both his worlds—and his heart—intact.
