The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Ah, nothing is better than going to see a movie and being the only one in the theater. Maybe it's just me, but it makes me feel special, even though it has happened to me a lot, working at a theatre and what not. Comedies, however, usually don't seem as funny when you're the only one watching. The crowd's laughter really adds to the experience. That being said, the lack of a crowd didn't affect how much I laughed at "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone".

"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" is about two best friends (Steve Carrel and Steve Buscemi) who essentially become Siegfried & Roy minus the tigers. They become one of the most popular acts on the Las Vegas strip, but soon find out sticking with the same routine will make you fade into nothingness. A threat in the form of street magician, Steve Grey (Jim Carrey) causes rifts in their relationship, forcing them to part ways.

Maybe, it is the thoughts of my good friend The Amazing Ray Brown (who is not a pedophile) that made this funny. But I think this was just a legitimately humorous movie. All of the actors and the editing had great timing. The situations were very funny, and the references to the magic industry set it over the edge. Especially in the subject of street magic.

Less ridiculous than Chris Angel.

This is a fun and clever movie that I feel people from all ages will be able to enjoy. Granted, no movie is for everyone, and this probably isn't even for most people. But I found it to be extremely entertaining and funny. If you are looking for a comedy, check out "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone". The worst that could happen is that you don't like it. Plus it's got Olivia Wilde. Who doesn't like Olivia Wilde?

How could you stay ma at her for stealing your watch?

Just look how gorgeous she is!
