Aroview: Delirious parody of Las Vegas showbiz egotism in which Steve Carrell (and sidekick Steve Buscemi) must find a way back to top of their profession when their tired and tacky magic stageshow is threatened by the cult of a guerrilla street magician - modelled on Criss Angel, and played with diabolical relish by Jim Carrey.

Formulaic in all the right ways, with a good belly-laugh count, this also ends on a clever and hilarious high note which answers a few nagging questions about the film's climactic mega-trick.
