The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (S: Carrell, Carrey) - 3/15/12

Quote:

Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other.

Facing cutthroat competition from guerrilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.

A crowd pleasing, expensive comedy for Spring 2013. Looks amusing. These movies are hit and miss.

Hate the trailer but the premise and cast sell it for me.

Looking at IMDB, Burt Wonderstone is written by John Francis Daley (of "Freaks and Geeks" fame) and Jonathan Goldstein. Both of whom also wrote 2011's Horrible Bosses and up next they have the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs sequel (Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers) and the reboot/continuation of the National Lampoon Vacation series with Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold, who takes his family on a vacation.

Kinda liked the trailer. If it starred Kevin James and Rob Schneider, I know for a fact I would be rolling my eyes. Ah, hypocrisy!

The cast sells it for me. With the blonde hair, Buscemi looks just like the main character from Headhunters.

I dunno about that part. Her filmography is pretty small and unsurprising. I've only seen her in 2 films, Tron 2 and Cowboys & Aliens.

Sounds like an interesting premise. I may check it out.

Looks interesting.

Might want to get a mod to change the date in the title.

I'm not convinced at this stage, but it does look mildly diverting.

Sounds like it could be hit or miss but the cast sold me on at least checking it out.

How much is Carrey in this? The trailers don't seem to mention him much.

The premise seems good, I just wish they had toned it down a bit (from the trailers at least).

He always cockblock Burt & Anton spotlight. I would say 60% of Carrey in this. I love the ending it was funny.

For some reason it doesn't appeal to me, I'd love to see Carrell and Carrey in a movie, just not this one.

The premise seems pretty close to that Mitchell & Webb film from a few years back, but I would imagine this should be funnier.

Will watch . I expect this to be a hit in America, but not many other places.
