The Incredible Burt Wonderstone: Movie Review



I was able to watch the movie "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone", yes it's a comedy.  In a sentence, I can say it's a popcorn movie.  You don't have to think much to enjoy it, and it gives you a few laughs with an easy, predictable story.  As expected from Jim Carrey and Steve Carell movie, you learn something and laugh over their hi-jinks 

I like the movie, but would I watch it again? The answer is a maybe, just to see Jim Carrey make an ass of himself.

How was the visual?

Visually the movie was good.  It's not a high computer visual movie, but you know there is some in it.  The camera work is good, so is the editing.


How was the story?

Story is the typical story of someone, forgetting their roots.  Where in someone has been on the top for so long, just to fall from grace, and have to learn to cope with their failure and rise up again.

It's the usual Hollywood story, even kids will know they have seen it a couple of times before.  So yeah, there isn't much twist and turns to this movie, but the writing is good.  Dialogue is natural, story is coherent and easy to follow.


How was the movie overall?

Overall, I give this movie a 3.5 out of 5 stars. The story is nothing new, it's almost not that fresh but still a good movie to enjoy.  I think, the target audience of this movie are the Jim Carrey fans, teens, and people in their early 20's.  Although, kids may enjoy this, but there are some scenes, that are not for kids.  So if you plan to watch this with kids, they will probably enjoy it, or they will ask you lots of questions during and after the movie.
