He was the king of comedy cinema in the mid to late 90's. He was one of the only guaranteed box office draws at that time, along with Tom Cruise & Will Smith. But that all appeared to change once he tried to become a serious actor. He hasn't had a great film in years. With the exception of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but that is either a love it hate it film. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events was made to capitalize on the success of the Harry Potter films, and while it was ok it didn't make nearly enough money, hence no sequel in sight.
The Number 23 was a nice change in style for him. But the film is poor and it's hard to imagine that he would have done anything like that if he was still as popular as he once was.
His run of 8 films in the 90's was pretty good. Not from a quality standpoint. But each made a good ammount of money, and if they didn't then they shure have now. I hear The Cable Guy sells very well on DVD. It was one of those films that took a little time for people to get it.
