It’s comedy central this weekend at the movies, and if you’ve been waiting to see two of America’s more inventive comedians working off each other – the wait is over. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars Steve Carell and Jim Carrey as dueling professional magicians. This movie was written by the same duo responsible for last year’s dark comedy, Horrible Bosses, and if their new comedy is even half as funny as “Bosses” was, we’re going to look like total geniuses!
