Is it weird that I think the Steve Carell Magic Mo

[Bone Daddy]

Movie looks amazing?

[Mrs. Potato Dick]

Told the wife when we saw the trailer:

"Imma watch the shit outta that thing."

[G✇JI☈A]

Whoa, this year is going to be like the year when 'The Illusionist' (Ed Norton one, not the French animated movie) and 'The Prestige' came out.

I think there is another magician movie coming out this year. Can't remember the name but it looks like magicians doing 'Ocean's 11' like heists.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

I think it looks really good. One of the many movies on my "to watch" list this year.

[Rican]

Looks funny. I'm a fan of both stars so I'll see it.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I think Carell can be really hit or miss with his stuff... but this movie looks like it has some real potential.

Damn Alan Arkin and Steve Carrell are like a duo now.

I love Steve Carell but after Dinner For Schmucks I'm not sure about seeing him in another goofy comedy. I like his dramatic stuff combined with comedy the most.

That's Now You See Me (it has Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, amongst others), yes?

As an aside: I enjoy those situations where 2 big movies about the same random thing come out in the same season (like Prestige/Illusionist, and before it Dante's Peak/Volcano - all movies I quite liked a lot).

At least this time it's not dueling movies of the same genre. Now You See Me is a thriller, while this is DEFINITELY a comedy through and through.

This does actually look entertaining. Carrey alone as a Criss Angel spoof has me rolling enough as it is.

I wouldn't blame Steve for that, but rather the director who had no idea what type of movie he was trying to make. I thought Steve's performance was solid in an otherwise pretty lackluster film.

As for the magic movie, I haven't seen the trailer (I avoid the trailers of movies I know I'm already interested in seeing) but seeing the posters first made me excited we were finally getting a Rex Manning movie.

[The Lach is very tired]

Yep, just added it to my watchlist

[Deleted]

It looks horrible to me.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

I want to see it. didn't even recognize Jim Carrey at first.

I KNEW Carell's look reminded me of someone!!!!!

[zeez]

It looks slightly amusing. Worth watching at least once, provided I'm not spending much money to do that.
