It's sporadically funny but often unfunny, the latter worse than not being funny enough.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
As highly talented as Carrey is, he can't make these abrupt physical and mental transitions the least bit convincing.
Works because it does its job of making viewers laugh.
Carrey himself provides the biggest flash from a major star since Rudolf Nureyev in Valentino.
Some of it just seems tedious and repetitive, as if the Farrelly brothers couldn't decide where to take their Jekyll and Hyde idea.
