Aiyer, tght it's a film based on the great Micheal Jordan.
I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and I tght he had a great outing in there showing his 'serious' side of him. It's a great watch, the film.
His quote on V day in that film:
"...random thoughts for Valentine's day, 2004. Today is a holiday invented by greeting card companies to make people feel like crap."

The movie is inspired by the "23 Enigma", a Discordian belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23, some permutation of the number 23, or a number related to the number 23.

Joel Schumacher re-teams with Jim Carrey in the latter's latest attempt to tangent away from the comedic genre, trying to seal himself as being capable of pulling off a dramatic role time and again. I thought he had decent outings with The Majestic and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (my favourite 2004 movie), though I must admit his brooding, obsessive character in The Number 23 totally wiped out traces of that trademarked smirk off his face. You don't see him smile in this movie.
