Went in knowing this hadn't been anyone's favorite movie, and found myself having a great time. This movie pokes fun at Las Vegas shows and the larger-than-life characters that star in them, and how it all falls apart. Filled with great people, this movie takes great comedians, and plays them off each other as characters - not clowns. There are definitely some cringe-worthy moments, and sure, it could be better. But all these great people signed onto this script for a reason, and I'm sorry that the humor was lost on those looking for a slapstick farce, who found themselves in a more subtle satire of the people whose names appear in lights on the Vegas strip. Go enjoy an imperfect story about imperfect people, who look perfect on stage.
Pros great actors
Cons slow in places
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie had alot of great moments. It was not end to end hilarious but it was sure worth seeing. It had grade A actors and was worth the money. Laughed alot..thats all that counts. The magic kit took me back in time, great designs, props and acting. Writer could have made it a bit funnier but nevertheless fun to watch.
Pros great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not as funny as hoped. Kind of bland - still like the actors, but this was just kind of flat...
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This had to be one of the worst movies in a long time. The script was poor and the acting was poor. It is billed as a comedy, but I didn't find anything funny about it. Expected a lot more with the actors involved in making this movie. It was just stupid, not worth paying money for.
Cons bad acting, bad script
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Overall, it was kind of funny! There were some slow scenes in the movie that really drug the story down. But, the creativity in the characters storyline was poor and I would have like to seen "Nicole" aka "Jane" become the magician that saved everything! It was also repelling for her to become yet another one of Burt's love interest's in the end!
Pros mostly funny
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.
