The Incredible Burt Wonderstone New  Funny 2013 Movie in Theaters Review

About a week ago, I had the pleasure of watching "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" movie. Like you all know, I rarely go to theaters to watch the films. I usually wait a year or two to watch them on TV. For this movie, my family made an exception to that rule. Mostly, we went to watch it because of Jim Carrey. Like in all of his movies, Jim Carrey plays the role of a maniac. In this movie, he played the demented bad guy, Steve Grey.

In the film, we saw a contrast between old school magic tricks and today's modern day magic. Steve Grey's tricks represented the new generation of "magicians". Many of his "tricks" went from being gory to ridiculous. Frankly, my favorite "magic trick" of Steve Grey was when he fell asleep on burning coal. He said that we all had seem people walk on hot coal. However, he was going to show us someone sleeping on hot coal. When he laid down, he started snoring. In the relapse between each snore, he screamed like a madman.

To make you see the film, I will not spoil Steve Grey's final act. Trust me, it is worth watching. Now, onto the main characters. Burt Wonderstone was played by Steve Carell. I think this is the third film that featured both Jim Carrey and Steven Carell. Anyhow, Burt Wonderstone and his partner were old time magicians.

They started performing magic tricks since they were children. As a matter of fact, Burt met his partner Anton thanks to his first magic trick. The trick he performed was the standard, disappearing handkerchief trick. After that humble beginning, Anton Marvelton and Burt Wonderstone got their own show at a hotel. 

They started loosing business when Steve Grey came about.  They tried to imitate Grey's street performance. However, thanks to Wonderstone's claustrophobia, the act was ruined. The movie got really good, after the failed hot box trick. The final trick that outmatched Steve Grey's magic trick was something else. After the movie, they showed you how they managed to perform the impossible, disappearing audience trick.

Other than the magic tricks, I liked the character's costumes a lot. The beginning was also peachy.  The tension between Grey and Wonderstone worked pretty well. However, what I liked best was the sense of humor. These days most funny movies are disgusting. This movie did not need to gross you out to make you laugh. For such clean humor, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone movie deserves 5 stars rating.
