    Anyone seen that movie?

    It's with Jim Carrey, and it's one of his few movies where he isn't being the funny guy (although some people don't find him funny at all. I am one who do find him funny though)
    It's about him getting a detective story book from his wife. Later it's about the obsession of the number 23.
    It's really a great movie and with a surprising ending and a good story.

    Did you like it, if you've seen it, and if you didn't like it, why?

    I think I've heard about it. But I don't think I've seen it.

    Go see it then, it's an awesome movie and is higly underrated. It really can show how an obsession works.

    I couldn't predict a thing in that movie lawl. But hey that's your opinion. I really liked it.

    I think I found it entertaining, but, I will admit, I too found it somewhat predictable. Unlike Master, I didn't really mind much that I knew the ending before it came about. One thing that I did enjoy was that it made me somewhat paranoid, but that was before I came to the sudden realization that anyone anywhere can manipulate a number so that it equals 23. ;)

    Overall, I thought it was all right, not great, but not terrible either.

    I've never got around to seeing it. I thought it looked pretty good but I have heard a few people say it is actually pretty ******. Guess I'll get around to it one day but I'm in no rush.

    I watched it, and kinda zoned out through most of it, but I still think he was kinda funny... frantically writing **** on walls. ><


    Even when he's isn't trying he makes me laugh with his stupidity.
    It was "eh..."

    I saw it. It was pretty ****ed up, I gotta say. I love Jim Carrey, but that was just.... bad.

    By the way, DO NOT see the "unrated version". You will see Jim Carrey do things you'll wish you never saw him do.

    I saw it. It wasn't THAT bad.
    A bit weird for Jim Carrey, yes, but not like OMG MY EYES!1!!1!
    I actually think Jim Carrey handled it very well, in this non comical movie.
    He showes he can also do other types of movies.
    Although I have to admit, I love him the most in the wacky ones.

    That sounds terribly frightening. o___o
    I'm glad I didn't stumble across that version.

    It was funny and freaky at the same time. Jim Carrey's wierdest film.

    YES! That is exactly what is was. I agree with you here, although it isn't as funny as his other movies, mainly because it isn't meant to be funny.
