Steve Carell always delivers as he always does, but Jim Carey and the story in general didn't really bring in side-ripping laughs but instead a few chuckles. 2013's 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone', however entertaining, it's repeat jokes after a while became forced and predictable just as were these super-star magician acts. Steve Buscemi whom you may remember from 'The Big Lebowski' or 'Big Fish' as well as Irish/American actress Olivia Wilde whose been hot on the Hollywood circuit and working in a number of films like, 'Tron', and 'In Time' to name a few also co-star in this comedy.
Filmed in Los Angeles with a budget of a whopping $30 million USD, this film fell shy of 8 million USD at the box-office. Writers Jonathon M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley shared a decent message about finding the strength from within and standing up to bullying. Despite success, one must always remember where they came from and to remember those who matter most. The stunts and action was most times over-the-top but funny-man Carell depicts the sensational truth of what shows and a life-style in Las Vegas, Nevada is all about.
Light on inspiration and laughs but compelling enough to make it to the end.
