Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The Number 23 is an accidental comedy starring a deadly serious Jim Carrey.

Watching Carrey babble gibberish about the sinister nature of 23 in scene after hyperventilating scene isn't any more fun or enlightening than listening to street-corner lunatics discourse on similar topics.

It just adds up to sheer ineptitude.

Pretty much every important date in history...can be teased to fit the pattern. What can't be hammered out of this fixation, apparently, is a coherent movie.

For all its gimmicky numerology, The Number 23 just doesn't add up.
