THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE [2013]

30 Rock director Don Scardino makes a bumpy transition from TV to the big screen with the oddball comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.
With a completely harebrained concept the film is disappointingly predictable and hardly takes any risks to stand above the run-of-the-mill inane comedy.  Still, it manages to pack in enough laughs and heart, even when it does take a distracting turn into the disgusting.  The uneven tone of the film makes the simple plot seem messier than it really is and that's where it hurts this potentially great idea the most.
