6 out of 10 - which is only 16 not 23....

Rating: 6/10 (30 August 2009)

I love Jim Carrey. I think he is great at comedy and he can also do a good turn in a straight film.
I knew the plot before going into the film and I couldn't get my head round the fact someone could go 'crazy' over a number. About 20-30 minutes into the film I was still thinking the same thing but hey Jim was being mildly amusing and Virginia Madsen was looking smoking hot... I did sort of 'get' it towards the end and understood he felt the character in the novel was so close to his own character but still the story wasn't that strong although I did enjoy it.
I've did look for 23 in everything after the movie but I'm so bad at maths I give up after a few attempts. Worth a watch.
