The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone IMDb
This was pretty entertaining.  I covered the red carpet to this movie at this year's SXSW.  Shot an interview with Jim Carrey, Steve Carell, and Olivia Wilde.  So, I knew I had to see it one day.  With low expectations in mind, this movie ended up being alright.  Jim Carrey plays a silly and exaggerated David Blaine/Criss Angel type of character.  In the beginning, I thought it was funny but after a while, it was a little too much with that character.  Our main character here is Burt Wonderstone. He's a jerk at first but then finds a heart there halfway through.  This had a few chuckles.  Maybe more than I expected.  Overall, silly cheesy movie about magic.
