Movie Review by Jessica Film Junkie
March 9th, 2008

Aggravating

Favorite Movie Quote: ""It's all 23!!""

I don't know who thought this would be an interesting movie and I don't know who roped Jim Carrey and Virginia Madsen into such a mess, but whoever they are, they should be fired.

This movie really wants you to think it is Fincher-esque, it wants to be a mind-f*ck, but in the end it is highly predictable, annoyingly acted and hinges on an idea that a number is the secret to everything, when it could so easily be any number of things.

In short it is a movie about paranoia, but watching someone else's paranoia unfold before us is about as interesting as high school math homework and just as infuriating.

Sorry Jim, but you should stick with classy material like 'Eternal Sunshine'.

This film was pretty bad.....It is cool to think about all the configurations of the number 23 but making a 2 hour movie about it is hard.....as proved with this crap.

I agree with you. I couldnt even make it all the way through. Jim looks buff in it tho.
