Robert Denerstein on The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Denerstein gives a favorable review to this all star comedy ensemble.  Opening right away on the 'big name' parts of Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey, Alan Arkin and James Gandolfini; he draws you in with the talent.  He does this for a clear reason: you're going to see a movie with a lot of laughs but not a lot of plot.  He dives into the basic plot to let you know the scenario: two buddies used to be hotshots but are fading, they'll go through some troubles with a wacky villain, and they'll pull through.

Reduced to those three points, the film could be Anchorman, Blades of Glory, or any other Will Ferrell vehicle (except Casa De Mi Padre).  But that isn't bad, he says.  The Laughs are constant and the characters hold up the whole way through.  He also notes that the director of popular prime time comedy hit 30 Rock, Don Scardino, to draw in as many comedy fans as he can.

Overall, the review was pleasant to read.  He was clearly favorable, but didn't over do it.  He as able to sway me to want to see the film.
