Quick Summary:

Kid gets bullied, kid has birthday, kid gets Magic kit, makes friend with kid, become big stars. Have a good run, new stranger talent shows up not unlike Criss Angel, and shakes up the whole magic scene.

Interest: It isn’t bad, it’s a slow burner of a comedy, which can be good if there are large payoffs, but this is very few small payoffs.

Acting: I mean It’s pretty good and it isn’t a blockbuster, or like the Leonardo DiCaprio or anything, But the movie does have well named actors in it, and never seems to break character or no intentional goofs.

Storyline: The storyline is fair. It has a story, tells it, has some light banter to it, a little side plot or two, and wraps it up in a unique odd way, that only a movie about magicians could.

Funny: as I said it is a slow burner, and few jokes, but some of the jokes are pretty solid and made me laugh quite a bit in the second half.

Fights Guns or otherwise: Fights happened, mostly emotional and verbal, with some breaking of bones on an accidental mess up. It’s not so bad. I mean it’s a comedy, not a horror or saw movie or Expendables 3.

Excitement: The movies was exciting, seeing these tricks happen was aww inspiring assuming you don’t know how they work, and they blended some nice CGI in with the real tricks and it really was a cool fairly exciting thing, considering the movie genre.

Number of fake out pity moments: So this is clearly a joke category, but during the movie there are fake out moments where I really thought I was going to see a cringey bad stupid scenes where I’d want to turn off the film, and a couple of times I did pause it to recompose myself. But all in all it wasn’t bad.

Nudity: There was no nudity, and that’s fair, while some things (like horror movies) tend to do nudity because nudity, comedy can also fall into this trap as well. Luckily this one didn’t and would of it been nice? Maybe. But the real question is was it necessary? And that answer is a big no.

Gross Factor: I mean here are some cuts and as I alluded to earlier, broken ankles, that happen in the film, but nothing super gross or disgusting.

Logic: The movie made sense, there were no blaring holes in the story or anything. It doesn't make you think, but that is sometimes something we need in our lives, we need an escape, and just be lost for awhile. But all in all it all is intact and works.

So this movie stars Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, and Jim Carrey. I have been wanting to watch more of Jim Carrey’s Filmography, and wanted to start with something relatively new, and it was a great experience. It was more a Steve Carell film, I’ll be honest, but it still had some decent Jim Carrey time, and you could almost see a glimpse of his former self, the one that made your child hood happy. I would recommend as a watch, but I really doubt this warrants a rewatch after you do watch it. Score is 51 Out of 100, which sounds bad, but honestly worth a go.
