Review: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (Don Scardino, 2013)
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is genuinely terrible.
Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carrell) immediately fell in love with the
magical craft when given a Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin) magician starter
kit during his childhood. Burt finds a young partner in crime in Anton
Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), and grows up to live his dream. They become
the most famous magician pairing on the Las Vegas strip. But, after a
number of years at the top, with fame and wealth to show for, the
friendship has begun to fall apart. A feud has developed as Burt’s ego
continues to grow and without fresh material their ticket sales are
floundering. They also face tough competition from Steve Gray (Jim
Carrey) an unpredictable showboat street magician whose outrageous
self-abusive stunts have caused a sensation on television and the
Internet. When Burt finds himself jobless and partner less, he is forced
to rediscover the passion he has misplaced.
