Review: I was excited to see this movie, and what I got was a terrible let down.Apart extremely cliche? D, causing the film is horribly miscast as Steve Carrell, who's just boring and has absolutely no charm. It feels just like Bruce Willis from the latest Die Hard movie, in the sense that he was there to be there. There was no effort by him to act at all. I can see why Jim Carrey was chosen to play the antagonist, as hes the only thing that would make people want to see this. Who says that the fact that these two worlds collide as in the classic and extreme, was a conscious decision has absolutely no idea what the film is to be actually. There should be about the wonders of magic, but it fell flat on his face. He just trying too hard, jokes about people's expectations, and goes out in the field of black humor, trying to shock you to create and do not deliver. Its as dry as an Adam Sandler movie and completely free of any emotion.And no, it was not funny. It was just painful. Although the humor of the people is something that is 100% subjective, I do not see why anyone would try to defend this film as a comedy, if not in the category of people who, because fallen laugh laugh.
