Directors: Don Scardino
Genre: Magic, Comedy

 

Light hearted movie. Its one of those which if doesnt create great impression, but doesnt let you go empty handed either. Good time assured

 

Pluses:

• Steve Carell, is the lead. The story is about him. And he is handsome and charming but an obssessed magician. Success gone to the head. Now you can very well predict the rest of the movie. May sound cliche, but for the character of Burt...who makes it pleasurable to watch. He pulls the role through charismatically. Besdies, quite a good looking actor with nice features. Wonder where was he lost so long :D
• Steve Buscemi, is a good support to his nappy friend 'Burt'. A lot on the practical side on how things work in real life. He aint some friend who stands as a moral for friendship, but sensibly yes...he walks away when it was unbearable, tries something of his own, to no avail and gets back to the old association, so as to work something around for the good of the both. Fair!! Very much :)
• OMG,Jim Carrey. This man is insane, how does he manage to look so young. And ohhh there, look at his body, wannabe!! :) Doesnt matter, he is hot, funny, gross and sexy. I loved him
• Olivia Wilde, is the only supporting female character. Nothing extraordinary to her role but she does manage to look good through out :)
• James Gandolfini, we have seen him in quite a few movies off late. He is bossy, just as he is supposed to be for the character. Brief role, played well
• Alan Arkin, brief role again but a cute one. He is an adorable old magician :)

 

 

Minuses:

 

With all the good casting out there, i guess a little better script with some more humor would have worked wonders

 

 

 

 

My Rating: 3/5
