Aug 03, 2014 Yes, there are magic (camera tricks and incredible deception) but also about friendships and the career path of magician Burt from his childhood to become a Vegas headliner to his downfall and revival. Entertaining to watch.

Silliness abounds in this comedic story about friends and business partners, Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton. When these two magicians fall out, they try to make their own way for a while before realizing that they are definitely…

Not as funny as I had hoped, given the cast involved, but not bad either. Jim Carrey & Alan Arkin steal the show, as they often do. Fine, if you have 2 hours to kill.

Lots of mugging and screaming gags, but not much more.

Jim Carrey played an excellent role in this movie, yet his name isn't mentioned in the library record.

Spoiler alert!!!! Any movie where ppl kill puppies is horrible. Don't let kids or animal lovers watch.

We did not expect to enjoy this movie but did. It had a really cute ending which we enjoyed. Worth a watch

A vapid husk of a comedy with only one mildly humorous joke to be found which like every other annoying trait about this movie wears thin. Lackluster performances from three A listers, an unforgivably bad script, and bizarre direction make…

You have to be impressed by the WillPower expressed by Steve Grey (Carrey's character).

fun to watch this, it is so cheesy, the magic show was so "vegas and cheesy" it made me cringe, (I think that was the point)I love Steve Buscemi though, he is great. hilarious when he was a kid " I have to take testorarone because I am so…

Very average comedy with an exceptional cast. High expectations really bottomed out. There are a few chuckles, but not nearly enough. Carrey hams it up. Buscemi is very low key. Carell was underwhelming and miscast in the lead role.…

I really meant to see this film when I saw the ad near 34th and 9th. I just never got there. Too busy or too poor or both. This film is worth seeing just to see Jim Carrey. To see him "levitate" out of the bar with no special effects…

A cute but pointless film, THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE is about a vapid magician who feuds with his assistant, his partner, and his mentor until he faces the real challenge of a new edgy magician who threatens the innocence of magic.…

best part was when burt makes the girl sign a sex agreement contract-then david copperfield (who was sued for sexual harrassment) does a cameo!

Wanted to like this a lot more than I did. Very middle of the road. Too bad.

Story dragged on and lost my interest so much I kind of missed the ending. Oops

I actually had a lot of fun watching this in the cinema but it definitely loses something the second time through. It's not a bad time though and it still makes me smile.

Talk about your disappearing act? Went to look for "the" David Copperfield in the search engine, nothing? But when you watch the movie he makes a cameo appearance?

zero laughs. I expected more.

The starring role that is played by Steve Carell is not that much different than Michael Scott in the office. It's become pretty stale. I laughed a number of times during the movie but mostly at some of the silly things that Jim Carrey…

Jim Carey was sort of creepy. Overall, I thought it was just ok. I was hoping that with four good and funny actors that this would have been really funny. Not so.
