Incredible Burt Wonderstone: 6.8/10
This struck me as a movie with scads of potential that never gets there. The entire movie you had the feeling that right around the corner it was going to turn it into high gear and become something greater, especially taking into account the subject matter of magicians, but it never gets there. One noticeable feature is the cast; the supporting cast is spectacular but Carrell plays what seems to be every character that he's ever played besides Brick Tamland. The rest, especially Carrey, are excellent. Overall, some chuckles and a funny scene with Steve Buscemi in Cambodia, but nothing to make it a "great" comedy.
