Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

adonis98-743-186503 Walter Sparrow becomes obsessed with a novel that he believes was written about him. As his obsession increases, more and more similarities seem to arise. Jim Carrey's perfomance in 'The Number 23' is unlike anything we've seen him before and that i truly respect it i honestly do cause no actor can do comedy forever and Carrey proved some pretty good dramatic skills with this picture. Unfortunately for him the script was a mess and went from this to that so many times that became confusing plus way too slow and the twist? kinda meh. (5/10)

cmovies-99674 PROS: The part of the movie that was most well crafted was the story line. After all the mystery and the plot development you finally got clear answers. What I liked about this movie was the fact that you learned with the character and not for the character. As a watcher this quality is really good because you end up staying with the pace of the movie and not falling behind or predicting ahead. Since this happened you really ended up following along and started to feel the paranoia that arose as the film progressed. One of the most impactful parts of the movie was the paranoia, and the main actor, JIM CARREY, did a great job at delivering this quality. It wasn't just him that did a great job it was the majority of the cast as well. CONS: The biggest con for me was the falling action, which comes right after the climax. The problem was that the movie took too long to resolve, and it began to get boring. Once you solved the mystery you don't need another 30 minutes to relax. This was the sort of movie that should have ended differently to keep it memorable. The final factor of the movie that I disliked was the fact that it took a while for tension to develop, and it took even longer for it to simmer down.www.chorror.com

Davis P The Number 23 is a Joel Schumacher film starring Jim Carrey, Virginia Madsen and Logan Lerman. It's a psychological thriller about a man (Jim Carrey) who becomes completely obsessed with a book his wife bought for him entitled "the number 23". He starts to add up numbers of all the things in his life and they're all adding up to the number 23 and what is occurring in the book is eerily similar to his own life. This movie was widely panned by critics, audiences were kind of split down the middle by it. I am one of the people who likes it, but doesn't love it. It's not the greatest thriller but it certainly isn't terrible like many many critics stated it was. This is a film that has very good performances by talented actors. Carrey and Madsen are both very good in the movie and don't think either of them got enough credit or any credit at all for their fine intense performances. The script isn't weak per say, it's just not very strong. But to be honest, I wasn't really looking for amazing dialogue, I was looking for an interesting psychological thriller and that's for the most part what I got. The plot has some twists and turns at different points along the way, which is always good, I love a thriller with some twists. This twist was good, not the biggest most shocking reveal ever, but satisfying enough. 7/10 overall for The Number 23.

SnoopyStyle Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey) works animal control. Walter gets bite by a dog and late to meet his wife Agatha (Virginia Madsen). She walks into a book store and they find a book "The Number 23". He is captivated by the book about Detective Fingerling (Jim Carrey). He is soon obsessed with the number 23, the book and the author Topsy Kretts. He finds connections to his own life and the number drives him slowly into madness.Director Joel Schumacher may be trying to create a world of madness. All he actually achieves is an infuriating mess of a story. The movie is pretty lifeless. It's like trying to talk to somebody who keeps talking about the number 23. It's very repetitive and goes nowhere. I don't blame Carrey or any of the actors. The other world following the book and Fingerling is rather boring and distracts from the movie. This is simply madness.
