The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Ratings & Reviews

it is super funny
Mister Arn
May 19, 2025
Found a couple of laughs throughout the movie, but it's very predictable.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
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.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The true comeback story in this fictional comeback story doesn't belong to a character named Burt Wonderstone, but to an actor named Jim Carrey.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
This comedy about a magician who must hit bottom before rising again to the wonder of his beloved craft pulls plenty of sweet moments and a slew of laughs out of a story that might have been thin air.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
This may be the kind of semi-bad, semi-inspired comedy that could not only stand repeated viewings but perhaps improve with them.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
A generic, fitfully funny mainstream comedy that doesn't nearly get the best from its name-brand players but doesn't qualify as a desecration, either.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A veritable festival of bad toupees and repeated gags that just lie there, "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone'' runs a bit more than an hour and a half but seems much longer - like it had been edited down at the last minute.
Detroit News
Tom Long
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" isn't incredible, but it's a nicely performed bit of programmed Hollywood hilarity.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
There are a few laughs here and there and some of the supporting cast works but the leads are woefully miscast and most of the jokes hit with all the awkward silence of a Bennigan's tableside magician who guesses the wrong card.
Back Stage
Tim Grierson
Though formulaic and a bit uneven, "Burt Wonderstone" is further proof that Steve Carell's small-scale comedies have their pleasures.
MSN Movies
Glenn Kenny
... has its share of engaging-to-great bits, including, truth to tell, one gag performed by Carrey that made me laugh louder and longer ... but it falls kind of flat as a complete moviegoing experience.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's as if Carrey has been waiting, through a series of bland and corny showcases, to find a role that doesn't derail or divert his intensity, but embraces it.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
What this movie is missing is - magic.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Burt Wonderstone is a lazy, underwritten imitation Will Ferrell movie.
Slate
Dana Stevens
It's a long, limping slog from the halfway point to the finish line, even if the actors have built up enough goodwill by then that it's bearable to coast the movie out.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Perhaps it's a magical disappearing humor act that afflicts this throwaway.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" can't transcend the fundamental problem built into movies and television shows about magic. It isn't really magic if you're watching it second hand.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Did the producers appeal to a denominator even lower than common by making their film as dumb as possible, or did it just turn out that way?
NPR
Mark Jenkins
There are some funny bits and characters around the edges of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, but its core is empty of humor.
