A man becomes obsessed by the number 23 because he is a weirdo by reading a novel that seems to parellel his own life. This movie was awful and dull and really not scary.

Carrey shines in his debut dramatic performance. Plot twists, strong acting, and a surprise ending make this film a must see.

A bland mystery, with lots of weird turns and out of place flashbacks, that adds up to a completely disappointing ending.

Not sure why one of the funniest men in showbiz tries his luck in a thriller (which was not really scary) type mystery (not really a memorable ending either). Its plot, script was not written well and some talents were just put to waste. I guess the facial expressions of Jim Carrey sums up the film as a whole, a complete shock and waste of time. He can do drama which was very effective and realistic in the Truman Show. Hope he reconsiders these type of films/roles before delving into its obscurity.

While the premise is interesting, the execution itself produces a dark and messy film that is neither scary nor thought-provoking. Jim Carrey plays his role mostly in whispers and tortured glances and the payoff, which should be the film's highlight, can be spotted from a mile away.

The Number 23 is an gigantic mess that takes an already stupid story and adds on Terrible direction by Joel Schumacher, A Dreadfully bad script and a incredible waste of talent. Jim Carrey is painfully miscast as the lead and gives one of his worst performances ever. This movie is ugly, cheesy, unrealistic and very laughable. Jim Carreys Narraration is just awful, but then again so is the final reveal. The ONLY thing that saves this movie from being a complete dud, is Virginia Madsens performance. A Drag.

Kinda boring. Certainly not one of Carrey's better movies.

A very interesting movie that does have some really good moments. The beginning started off great but as the movie progressives the number 23 seems to become less important. It did have an interesting twist towards the end but was muddled.

A competent, if forgettable thriller about obsession. Jim Carrey does a good job as the lead - playing two different characters none the less. A interesting, but convoluted plot, keeps it going, but by the end it's just hard to care.
