Wanderlust.

With Easter coming up,I started searching round for a Comedy which a friend could watch with her family during the holiday season.Searching round on Amazon Uk,I suddenly remembered hearing about a fun-looking Comedy that had surprisingly failed at the box office,which led to me getting ready to meet Burt Wonderstone.

The plot:

Getting beaten up at school, Burt Wonderstone finds joy in a magic kit that his mum gets him for his birthday.Playing around with his magic tricks,Wonderstone catches the attention of Anton Marvelton,who shares Wonderstone's interest in magic,which leads to Wonderstone & Marvelton soon forming a double act.

Decades later:

Signed up by Bally's Casino owner Doug Munny to a 10 year contract,Wonderstone & Marvelton slowly find themselves become tired of performing the same old tricks,with Wonderstone also beginning to believe that he is bigger then the team.Standing outside Bally's,Marvelton and Wonderstone are left speechless,when street magician Steve Gray films his latest show outside the building.As Gray's new show airs, the cracks in Wonderstone & Marvelton's act start to appear.

View on the film:

Whilst the ending fails to sparkle,the screenplay by (deep breath!) Jonathan M. Goldstein/John Francis Daley/Chad Kultgen and Tyler Mitchell keeps the spells flowing,by juggling splashes of physical Comedy with a smooth buddy Comedy charm.For the rivalry between the magicians,the writers smartly give each of them contrasting styles,with Wonderstone's inflated ego making his act largely based on showmanship,whilst Gray takes aim at a grotesque,but mesmerising style of street magic.

Wrapped in a pure 80s mullet,Steve Carell gives a wonderful performance as Burt Wonderstone,with Carell superbly showing Wonderstone's joy in magic be pushed away by his ego-driven taste for the ladies,and to also push everyone else out of the limelight.Treated like a human punch bag by Wonderstone, Steve Buscemi gives a great performance as Anton Marvelton,with Buscemi showing Marvelton to be a humble guy,who explodes when Wonderstone finally over steps the mark.Taking on the duo, Jim Carrey gives an explosive performance as Steve Gray,thanks to Carrey jumping straight in to Gray's very physical magic,and also creating an unease over Gray being a less than magical creep,which leads to this film casting a marvellous spell.

Pretty funny magician comedy.

I couldn't help but enjoy this movie. Everything was telling me that this was a stupid ridiculous comedy but it was still quite funny. Magicians are a special breed, what they can do can be shocking but when it comes down to it they will always be kinda weird and geeky : )

Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi play the "old school" magicians i.e. Siegfried and Roy, and Jim Carrey plays the intense "too cool for school" magician i.e. Criss Angel. Their portrayals may be over the top but they are a completely accurate spoof of them. It was so pathetically funny watching their ego's destroy them.

If you normally don't enjoy comedy from Steve Carell and Jim Carrey then you probably won't like this movie. This is classic them in every way. Silly, a little lame and completely over the top but nevertheless still enjoyable.

Incredibly funny

There are some hysterically funny moments in this movie - and many other laugh out loud moments. A big name duo magic act faces some tough competition from a new extreme magician.

The performances are endearing and well acted. Jim Carrey acts as only he could in this Criss Angel type extreme magician. It's good to see Steve Carrell in a laugh out loud role compared to the rather maudlin romantic comedy things he has been doing a lot of. Steve Buscemi shows a not often seen comic side and is good in his role. Olivia Wilde is a bit rounder looking and looks much prettier because of it. Poignantly this is one of the last James Gandolfini movies.

The magic is inventive and great fun to watch.

Can't understand why it wasn't a bigger hit at the box office. One of the funnier comedies of recent years.
