This is the story of a sweet-natured fellow named Charlie Baileygates (Jim Carrey), a trooper in the Rhode Island State Police. He is mild-mannered and non-confrontational until somebody or something pushes him too far. That's when his maniacal alter-ego, Hank Evans, takes over. Colonel Partington (Robert Forster) forces Charlie to escort Miss Irene Waters (Renée Zellweger), a woman wanted by the police in upstate New York, back to her hometown, but when he discovers she's really being set up for murder, he helps her flee to the safety of his own jurisdiction. It's up to Charlie to keep Irene safe from her corrupt ex-boyfriend Dickie Thurman (Daniel Greene), and his associates, who are planning to kill her because they think she knows everything they've been doing.—Anthony Pereyra {[email protected]}
