Hilarious when playing a nice guy, Steve Carell is less funny when asked to play nasty. Which means that his work in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is far from vintage.
Carell plays the title character, and proceedings kick off in 1982 with Burt being bullied on his birthday. A miserable, lonely child, his life changes on the day that he is given a magic set.
Soon he’s producing pennies from his nose and coins from his ears, and before you can say ‘abracadabra’ young Burt has forged a friendship with fellow outcast Anton – who's apparently ‘dangerously close to being a girl’ – and the pair are vowing to make magic their life.
Jim Carrey wins the battle of the warring magicians in a comedy that should have been funnier.
