23

[Blowzo]

I saw 23 this weekend.... I would give it a 7-7.5 it was a good movie at best. JC was great as an actor, the plot was pretty cool... it was not superb by any means. The other supporting actors were ok at best.

I am not one for spoiling movies, so if you love JC, and you like suspenseful movies it's worth seeing in the big screen, especially with the lousy choices we have right now.

What exactly is this flick about? I've seen it advertised but never really grasped the concept.

Without giving anything away, I will try to explain it the best I can.

It's about a man that goes insane over the number 23. Everything has to do with 23... and he think the number is out to get him...

I could tell you more, and proably should, because that description was poor. I just really do not want to spoil anything... Check out a tailor online, see if it helps at all.

[k_dog]

No thanks, have my own tailor...;)

Aren't there 23 flavors in Dr. Pepper?

2/3 = .666

movie in an nutshell

[Cisumurug]

I'm a big fan of Jim Carrey and of course I liked it. I can't believe how bad some of the reviews are for it. But yeah If JC wasn't in it I probably wouldn't have liked the movie much.

[Phantom 5ive]

Yay JC!!! He is a great actor and although I haven't seen this the plot looks good!!!

[Korix]

I guess I'm not nearly as affected by an actor's history when watching them in a new movie as everyone else is. I easily start to recognize where I've seen someone but it never ruins the part for me and Jim's job in this movie was excellent. I hope he does more like this in the future.

Another thing about this movie that I liked (EXTREMELY shallow spoiler, shouldn't be bad) is how the family participated. I hate movies where the person can cry out for help and no one does anything. The main person is always isolated, but there were many players here, something refreshing and welcome.

Sorry to bring back such a dead thread, but I really liked this movie. I barely could keep watching it because around every corner I had to search for things to add up to 23.

Right after I turn off the movie I go to my cable guide. I'm on channel 285. 28-5=23. Strange? I thought so. Then about a split second later my girlfriend said "look" and pointed up to my Gears of War poster. Emergency Day 11.12.06 11+12=23. Then next to it is my poster of Resistance: Fall of Man which I quickly ran over. No 23 caught my attention. But what game system's the game on? Playstation 3. Playstation has eleven letters, also known as 11. 1+1=2 What number of the PS family? 3. 23.

Lot of coincides I know, but it's still weird as hell.

EDIT: DAMNIT! First thing I do after I submit the post is view my friends list. First friend online is playing that karate game. His score's 24100. 24-1=23.

[Predator x360a]

Same shit happened with me. Right after I got out of the theatre It was 10:23(1x0=0+23=23) Got home after traveling on route 23 turn on my TV channel 23. I was flipping out. Turned out my friend did that to my tv to mess with me. Plus I have a 23 in my gamerscore curently.

[twelvegoats]

23 + 23 - 23 = 23 OMFGGGG

but yeah that movie was good

[Predator x360a]

23 + 23 - 23 = 23 OMFGGGG

but yeah that movie was good

Lol I just noticed your gamerscore adds up to 23.

[TimmayTheTurtle]

i was at best buy today, and i saw this. when i saw this movie previewed i really wanted to see it.

but is it a movie i would buy or rent.???

[Predator x360a]

Rent it. If you like it buy it if not you just wasted your money lol. Easiest solution.

[codedigital]

My friend was really into that strange shit.

I also have a shirt for a domain he used to own with a 23 on the back with www.23rdian.org on the front. But he doesn't have that one anymore.

Haha.

[Shaaady Souljah]

definitely netflixing this next... and then i will post a nice little insightful review for ya'll.

[jarhead1990]

I didn't like it. Jim Carey isn't a good serious actor imo & the end was kind of dumb. The suicide girl part was cool though.

[Colby is KING]

I saw 23 a couple days ago, I thought it was great.

I thought Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or whatever was an excellent flick.

[Tremlos]

I liked it but the only problem I had with it was I guess the whole plot in the first 10 minutes :(

[Tussell]

I was going to pick it up, but I decided to get The Hills Have Eyes 2. I should have just not went to Blockbuster. :(

[jarhead1990]

Yeah Hills have eyes 2 was amazing! Damn better than the remake! -_-

[JoeCool7835]

The number 23 is a real numerical enigma, and it does show up everywhere. Hell, look at the number in my GamerTag and add it up.

7+8+3+5= 23

Weird, huh?

so does your gamerscore! 4955

4 + 9 + 5 + 5 = 23

[Darth Odan]

25,249. That's my current gamerscore.

2+5=7+9=16+4=20+2=22

It's not everywhere :D

The movie isn't bad, pretty good. Definently worth a rent.

[TimmayTheTurtle]

so that movie was insane.

it made me think of everything that could just add up 23, kinda scared me

and i was all like :wtf

[FlamingOcean]

actually liked it. Really interesting facts in it, plot was pretty good, and the suicide blonde= teh hawtness. 4/5 stars.

[Krazie]

I personally thought the movie was extremely stupid and predictable.

I had the whole movie figured out by 15 minutes in, and frankly, the rest of it was kind of boring. A sex scene every 5 minutes doesnt make a movie interesting to me. It was boring, and could've been a lot better than it was, TBH..

I'm glad I watched it, but I'd definitely never watch it again. Probably wouldn't recommend it to anybody..

[WarriorPriest13]

I guess I will have to check out the movie. I have been wanting to see it. Hopefully I will enjoy it as i am a JC fan.

ok the ending was really surprising and it wasnt predicable dude. the one part i agree with you was the sex scenes... lmao that was really random
