Review of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) by Ben M — 10 Jan 2014

I don't get the hate and disinterest in this one. I laughed the whole way through and seriously think moviegoers are getting by turns too smug and too distracted to enjoy a nice, balanced comedy like this.

What happened to enjoying well executed concepts with likeable, talented comedic stars that don't push all the obnoxious buttons, be they "award season sophisticated", or "hipster smart" or just plain dumb, gross and weird? That a movie like this got shat on and all accolades go to Judd Apatow releases and audience approval seems exclusively reserved for Adam Sandler and co.

is beyond me.
