What Parents Need to Know
About The Number 23
Parents need to know that this isn't a Jim Carrey comedy. It's a thriller in which suicides are epidemic (three characters take their own lives -- or try to -- in often-bloody detail). The surreal, MTV-style filmmaking unfortunately makes at least one of the suicide victims look like a gauzy Victoria's Secret model who's ready for a turn on the fashion runway -- not a good message to send. There's also a subplot about a girl who likes to have kinky, abusive sex. Other violence includes murder (usually offscreen) and the threat of murder; there's also some language and drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why Jim Carrey, known for slapstick comedy, would undertake a movie like this. What makes this movie a thriller? What's the difference between thrillers and horror movies? Families can also discuss the supportive message about the mentally ill that's hidden underneath the movie's gaudy, feverish visuals.

both rated and unrated ones are good.
Sex: R Version isnt bad. like CSM said its like in video games. The UNRATED one had a fairly LARGE amount of Sex. and they last for quite a while sometimes Violence: i didnt notice much of a difference in the violence from the theatrical version to the unrated. Language:the UNRATED has about 5 or 6 more f-words than the Theatrical Cut. Drugs/alchohol: not much in eiter version Comercialism: none. whatsoever. social behavior: in the beginning of the movie all of the characters are normal (whatever that is) in the middle of the movie all of the characters are completely paranoid. 2/3=.666 the world spins on a 23.5 degree axis. 23 and 5=2+3. hitler killed himself april 1945 4+1+9+4+5=23. the hiroshima bomb was dropped at 8.15. 8+15=23. Jesus=64. 64/2=32 (23 backwards.) i LOVEDDDDDDDD both of the versions of this movie. after you see this movie you WILL start finding 23s everywhere. birthdays. execution dates. and lots more. good ending. proves that family can pull you through anything and that you can change yourself from what you were in the past. 14+

Is there even a point??
This movie wasn't scary. It was just goofy, and my boyfriend and I rolled our eyes through most of it. It made no sense, and the language and sex were pretty bad. I wouldn't see it again.

Twisted sweet
Well Well where to start....This movie is a diferent twist to any normale movie, boring is about the last word i could use to discribe this movie. Jim Carry did a perfect job( as Always ) in setting the mood for a sane man gone nuts deep into his own mind, in a family course he could never escape no matter how high he jumps from. 311PsYChoBilLy

Great Film
I haven't sat in a movie in a long time that actually had decent non predictable plot twists. This is up there w/ prestige. Carrey does a good job with the role this is his One Hour Photo (R. Williams) I found the film enjoyable, great lighting and cinematography. The film was a great brain teaser just enjoyable definitively worth a look into and I'm going to go see it again now.

really weird, not what i was expecting
This movie seemed to go in an entirely different direction than the trailer suggested. It was a little to confusing and overall not very good, especially not for children.

it had a great twist at the end and is a very good psycological thriller

Rated R for a reason
I think its great that Jim Carey is stepping out of his comidien role and trying something else. The mivie is rated R for a reason though people. For thoe f you who thought it was going to be kid friendly just because of an actor you should look at Johnny Depp. He goes from horror, to children's films and back again. There is a reason movies are rated.
