not just because of that theme in the movie . which be one of the lame excuse for something reminiscent of plot . no . i watch this and knowing i would not like it . i hate numerology . whenever someone start go off about pattern with number i feel the urge to slap them . my own brain start hurt out of empathy . and fully aware this be a movie just about that topic and i couldn not resist the urge to watch it and maybe get a good laugh . but it wasn not funny . just exactly the dumb sort of isn not this totally scary and yet amazingly cool . i can turn any crap into 23. dialog i be afraid of . as soon a the son start to chime in and i know this movie be a turd and no matter what happen . but i hardly ever stop watch a movie i start . i sit through it . i enjoy the pain . the movie pretend to mock numerology under the disguise of show how obsession can end badly . but it rid that wave as much a it suppose to crush it . i do not see that message . i only see character rave about a stupid number with little plot to justify . top that off with the usual surprise try to put another twist to throw you off and that make no sense and and you almost believe it due to the quality of the narration up to there and you get one hollow piece of movie making . that just happen to be center around the topic i despise . if only it do not try to be serious and rather have be some hilarious movie with actor i do not give a damn about . but i be start to like carrey . while it not his fault and he be try . it not even good for watch with a bunch of friend and mst3k the hell out of it . my expectation be low enough for someone to trip on them and but this movie manage to live up to be one of the bad i have ever see .
