could have been good, destroyed by WAY too much spelling it out for stupid people, the ending goes on forever

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2007)

Jim Carrey decides to go the serious route with the tale of Walter Sparrow (Carrey), whom after finding a book that uncannily mirrors his own life, becomes obsessed with it as well as the number 23. Virginia Madsen is on hand as his put-upon wife, Agatha.What could have been an intriguing enough movie and solid thriller was sadly hampered with the fact that everything is spelled out slowly and bluntly to the audience whom, one would suspect, the filmmakers seem to believe are slightly mentally retarded and have to be spoon fed from point A to point B like an unthinking lemming. It's extremely insulting to one's intelligence and just sunk the whole film for me. If it weren't for the dumbing down of the film, it would've been good. (of course it would also be around 45 minutes long)
My Grade: D+
Eye Candy: Virginia Madsen provides the T&A
