Amazon.com:
Jim Carrey as a schizophrenic murderer isn't convincing, in this melodramatic film about a man obsessed by the Number 23. Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, St. Elmo's Fire) has unintentionally managed to make a comedy of horrors that really is quite humorous in parts. Walter Sparrow (Carrey) becomes engrossed in a homespun novel about Detective Fingerling, whose life degrades into mayhem because of his obsession with 23's esoteric numerical puzzles. Sparrow's preoccupation with the book follows his botched attempt to catch a nasty dog that bites him, leading one to believe that Sparrow's contraction of rabies might be the cause for his mental degradation. As the story progresses, Sparrow retreats further into Fingerling's world, rife with suicidal sexpots and hardboiled detective sleuthing. His wife, Agatha (Virginia Madsen), also plays Fingerling's girlfriend, sex-crazed Fabrizia, who taunts Fingerling until he stabs her. Back in reality, Walter aims to solve the unresolved crimes in the book, taking it as a murderer's diary rather than as an imagined work. The story is half-baked, though Carrey's portrayal of a mentally disturbed person is what makes The Number 23 comedic. Long, contemplative stares, and over-dramatized acting renders Sparrow a clichéd character, rather than one odd enough to engage viewers. For a better version of almost the exact plot but with a terrorist's twist, see Thr3e instead. --Trinie Dalton

Number 23 rated about two or three stars in my book. It deals with the never ending fascination that many people have with certain apparantly meaningful numbers. Pi (3.14159, etc.) was another and I think superior film that dealt with the subject of obsessing over certain numbers.
Jim Carrey pulled off the somewhat interesting plot which held my interest until roughly two thirds of the way through the story. It was interesting to see him in a serious role for a change and witness ... Read More

While waiting for him, Agatha buys a detective book with a novel about the mystery around the number 23 in a bookstore as a gift to Walther.

This is the best, and certainly the most interesting, of Jim Carey's movies. We aren't aware of it initially but, through the Carey character, we see a world slowly unraveling, and the dissolution is somehow related to the otherwise unremarkable number 23. Carey comes to the recognition that everything in his environment relates in some way--by multiplication, division or the number, itself--to the number 23.
Carey's world becomes progressively darker, more surreal and frightening as everything ... Read More
