i was disappointed by be kind rewind too, and all the more so since i had such high hopes. eternal sunshine was the film that first revealed the genius of michel gondry to me.
(although to be honest, i agree his films are hit and miss ; i think he works better in short formats because he often has a brilliant concept but it's not enough for a full length film. he works on music videos and ads a lot and you can see he's really in his element there).
i thought jim carey was brilliant in eternal sunshine, but i've not seen him in many films so i don't really have any preconceived notions about him. but if he drives you insane i suppose you should avoid it, he's the main character. then again, if you ask me, it's worth seeing even if he drives you insane. it might even change your mind about him.
