This movie blows. And I mean that it in a bad way. I watched it so you don’t have to waste your time on it, I guess.

It starts out promising but just gets more muddled as it goes along. The more serious Carrey gets, the less I believe it. He was great in The Cable Guy, but this movie blows. There’s too many unexplained coincidences. Like, why does his wife buy THIS book out of all the ones in the used bookshop? Does the whole “23″ thing really contribute to the plot? Not really. Is Jim Carrey typecast forever as a funny guy? Probably. Does this movie blow?

OK- what’s with the tattoo anyway? He had it in the past (when he was a badass) but it’s gone now? How do you get rid of a tattoo that covers your entire upper back and then forget about it? Finding holes in the plot of this movie is like looking for salt water at the beach.

Let’s see what other critics say:

“mind-numbingly silly” - The Guardian
“largely a failure” - James Berardinelli
“ridiculously inept” - LA Times
“thick wad of improbabilities in this junk impossible to swallow” - Rolling Stone
Movies don’t get much more dunderheaded… load of mind-bendy bushwa… 230 or so loose ends… absurdly implausible conclusion… dorky psychobabble lines - Salon.com
