Carell, Buscemi, Carrey, Wilde, Arkin & Gandolfini shine
Since it was crushed at the box office and by critics we saw this at a bargain house because it left multiplexes so quickly, on a huge screen, and had a ball. It's a very goofy, at times rude and crude, silly film, but with a surprising heart at its core, particularly when it involves Alan Arkin's character. I loved the way his character is used in the finale, and it's one of the most memorable moments for me this year at the movies. Add to that I was laughing so hard at the ending credits' depiction of what happens to the magician duo's big illusion set piece as time goes on that my friend turned to me and said "It's funny, but it's not THAT funny" because I was lost in laughing so hard I was practically losing my breath. As I've noticed many times in life, comedy is personal, and this one happened to be fascinating and entertaining to me on several levels. I love variety acts, and magicians in particular. I have a soft spot for sweet depictions of the elderly being treated...
If you are going to watch this with your serious face, don't bother.
I loved this movie when I saw it in the theater the first time. It is a parody on Magicians. Do not think this is a serious in depth look at magic, nor is it going to make you think after the movie, wow that was an amazing story. It is just simply to make you laugh and I did from beginning to end. Jim Carrey was hilarious. Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi were brilliant. For those of us that remember what magicians used to be to what they are now, you will enjoy this movie.
Great Movie!!!
I was so skeptical on watching this because of the bad reviews. However I'm glad I did. SO FUNNY! I don't understand the bad reviews for this. Very misleading. Great movie and had a lot of fun watching it on me and hubs date night. :)
