Review of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) by Michelle C — 15 Mar 2015
Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely love magic. This movie had such great promise, and it almost delivered on that promise until the end. Themes of belief, bullying, burnout, and being a better person were woven through a critique and comparison of big stage "magic," comedy magic, and classic closeup magic tricks.
Carey's parody of Chris Angel is spot on, but their "jokes" about Sigfried & Roy being attacked by their tigers was just in bad taste. However, the end of the movie killed this movie for me.
Their final "trick" was ridiculous, ludicrous, and maddening. It took 1.5 stars away from my review!
