The Incredible Burt Wonderstone review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 07/03/13
As a kid Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) wanted to be a magician after getting a kit on his birthday. Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) befriends Burt and have become partners. A risky street magician named Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) becomes popular and the shows of Burt dwindle. It was nice to see the late James Gandolfini in this fatherly role. Carrey despite a supporting role here was still hilarious. Buschemi was really funny as well. Soundtrack was applicable and pace of the film fluid. Only knack this reviewer observed were the usage of special effects (which was pretty obvious in most scenes), some of the script was forced to make people laugh and overreacting scenes of Carell. Overall, the sum of its parts were better than the whole. Carrey still has it and Buscemi just amazing.
