The movie and the number 23 is a big lie

Rating: 3/10 (22 February 2007)

(My Synopsis) Walter Sparrow (Jim Carrey), an animal control officer, is bitten by a dog for the first time at work. This event causes him to be late in picking up his wife, Agatha (Virginia Madsen). Agatha is waiting for him in front of a book store, and she decides to go inside to kill some time because Walter is late. Today is Walter's birthday so she purchases a book, "The Number 23," as a gift. Walter being bitten, then being late and the purchase of this book is the beginning of a chain of events that will change their lives forever. As Walter reads the book, he finds the story is almost a parallel to his life, and the writer was writing about him. The only problem is that people in the book become obsessive with the number 23, and they end up dead. The number becomes a curse to anyone who discovers its meaning.
(My Comment) The movie is slow for the first hour until it gets to the part that explains to the audience what the real story was all about. By that time, I was bored and tired of watching. I looked at my watch 3 times wanting it to end. I just didn't like any part of the movie. Jim Carrey was the wrong person for this part and the storyline was just bad. They tried to make everything right at the end, but as far as I was concerned, it was too late. As for the number 23, if you are looking for the number, you will find it, especially, if you can calculate the number 23 any way you want using addition, subtraction, division and even the number in reverse until you get the number you want. The number 23 is a big lie. Save your money on this one. (New Line Cinema, Run time 1:35, Rated R)(3/10)
