The Number 23

Pros: Decent acting, music
Cons: Weak, dull script

I was really excited about this film when I saw the trailers for it. For one thing, I'm a big fan of Jim Carrey and believe that he is one of the most underrated actors around. I thought that he was great in "The Truman Show", "Eternal Sunshine of the ...

Pros: Carrey's performance, the film's subject, Schumacher's eye candy
Cons: lackluster script, plot choices that punish smart viewers

There's something known as The 23 Enigma. If you're resourceful, you can find a way to find 23 in just about anything. Each person has 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. The earth rotates at an angle of 23 degrees. The most quoted passage from ...

Pros: 23
Cons: 23

Jim Carrey tries on another serious role for Joel Schumachers psychological thriller The Number 23. Carrey plays Walter Sparrow. Walter has a peaceful life, he is married to a beautiful understanding woman, Agatha (Virginia Madsen) and he has a ...

Pros: Danny Huston, kept my attention for the most part
Cons: Too many

A few weeks have passed since this puppy has been out and for the most part all of the hype has simmered down to a lukewarm boil—and here’s why. The Number 23 was one of those films I read about on IMDB months and months ago and became ...

Pros: Great idea
Cons: poor execution

I have been on a movie kick lately. In the past week, I've seen Reno:911 - Miami, Wild Hogs and The Number 23. I was actually really looking forward to watching this film, as the number 23 is very significant to me. I was born on ...

Pros: Jim Carrey's brilliant performance, Schumacher's direction, and the intriguing subject matter.
Cons: It's very predictable and completely falls apart in the film's final few minutes.

"The Number 23" is about as predictable as they come. Before even the first 23 minutes of the film are up, it is pretty easy to tell where the movie is going. But just like being able to tell when the dive is going to occur in a roller coaster, it is ...

Pros: Mildly amusing for the first two acts.
Cons: Then it's appallingly lame.

Joel Schumacher is not a poor director. In fact, if you give him the right script, he can actually be quite impressive (see: P hone Booth). But The Number 23 is almost undeniably laughable, and even worse, ...

Pros: Concept of random coincidences, good performance by Carrey
Cons: slow, dark and disjointed

I need to state that when i saw this movie, it was a backup from going to see Zodiac, and perhaps that had me going into it with some cynicism. Jim Carrey plays Walter Sparrow who is obsessed with reading a book that he relates to far too much. In ...

Pros: Some nice visual work, nice twists, Carrey does good job 'dramatically'.
Cons: Hollywood ending, some loose ends.

I headed out to see if 'Notes On A Scandal' was still in my local non-teen infested Megaplex (only the Sunrise Cinemas chain in South Florida can honestly boast this, all others catering to teens with poor behavior, cell phones, and loud conversations ...

Pros: Jim Carrey, and interesting and overall thrilling main plot line
Cons: some major lapses of theme, and some minor inconsistencies

No Spoiler Review. The Number 23, starring the well-known actor Jim Carrey, starring in such film's as Bruce Almighty, or playing the Grinch in the holiday film, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, has been subject to a very deep, raw, and ...

Pros: a good plot twist near the end,
Cons: unforunatley the rest of the movie is completley boring.

I went and watch the number 23 yesterday at the movie theater, it had Jim Carrey and I like his works, both his comedies and his dramas so I went and sat down for this thriller. Little did I know that I was about to drudge through one of the slowest and ...

Pros: Brilliant acting, great imagery and thickening plot.
Cons: Could've had a better editting job; the movie dragged.

How many of you have watched the movie's previews and thought, 'Jim Carrey playing a serious role?! Get outta here!' If you remember correctly this isn't the first serious role he's played. There was Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine... Upon buying ...

Pros: Not many, Worth Renting I Suppose
Cons: Predictable and Unsurprising

This one goes up there in the category of movies with great previews, fantastic marketing, tons of box office hype, a big name leading man...and then a lot of letdown when you shell out the $18 for a pair of tickets. The movie was set up well with ...

Pros: suspenseful, dramatic, keeps you fascinated with the story, allows you to draw your own conclusion
Cons: Not the best ending it could have been.

The number 23 may just be a number to you and me but to Walter Sparrow it becomes more than that. Jim Carrey playing Walter Sparrow has done an amazing job capturing his character. I know I was used to seeing him in his normal roles as the "funny" guy ...

Pros: Jim Carey is a good actor.
Cons: The script.

I was not at all impressed by this movie. If I could have left in the middle of the movie I would have. Jim Carey is phenomenal actor but even his great acting could not do this dull movie justice. I was uninterested in the movie. I thought it was going ...
