What's incredible is how bad a film it is with such a talented cast.

| Original Score: C- | May 7, 2022

More humorous than any of the actual events in the film is the appearance of Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, and Jim Carrey together onscreen in outlandish costumes.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 3, 2020

Entertaining and consistently funny shouldn't feel so disappointing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 12, 2020

While too bitsy to be regarded as a comedy classic, this is still a very amusing movie whenever some of those bits come together.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 15, 2020

Wonderstone lacks actual magic; it's too contrived for that. But it least it has some heart...

| Aug 14, 2019

If this was the movie equivalent of the magic trick where a woman gets sawed in half, there'd be blood all over the stage.

Like its titular character, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is all promise and no payoff.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 8, 2019

When it hits the right notes, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a frivolous joy, with Carrey stealing the rug from under his co-stars with all the joie de vivre of his earlier comic outings.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2019

Steve Carell feels tremendously miscast in a role that feels like it was meant for someone like Will Ferrell or Zach Galifinakis.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 1, 2018

The trouble with celebrating old-fashioned entertainment is that Scardino needs to complete the hardest trick in Hollywood - making clichs seem fresh and funny. Sadly, the director is no David Copperfield...

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 15, 2018

Jim Carrey IS this movie. Jim Carrey as funny Jim Carrey is always fun to watch.

| Mar 5, 2018

The unbearable cheesiness that ensues makes for a long hour and 40 minutes that's far from incredible.

| Feb 6, 2018

With its silly, glittery costumes and warring stars, this basically does for magic what Blades Of Glory did for ice skating.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2017

Refreshingly single-minded in its aim to entertain, Wonderstone has no social agenda, no artistic aspirations, no enduring lessons - other than, perhaps, the universality of lifelong friendship.

| Original Score: 4 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016

Flawed, but its affability is undeniable.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 14, 2016

Since every funny moment here involves cynicism, arrogance, heartlessness, and self-destruction, you never believe the movie when it's telling you how nice and contrite these characters are.

| Jan 6, 2014

...a serious disappointment that squanders its setup and talented cast...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 11, 2013

A painfully tedious and unpleasant comedy completely void of any laughs.

| Jun 25, 2013

Don Scardino's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a middling and extremely dated comedy that only gets by because of Jim Carrey's over-the-top performance.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 25, 2013

A slow, humdrum comedy that would have worked better as a 10-minute sketch than a feature film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 25, 2013
