A semi-finished magic comedy.

When I watched the trailer of this film last year, I was really looking forward to it. Magic, comedy, Buscemi, basically my favorite elements are all blended together. As a result, what was put together turned out to be just a half-finished meal that was hurriedly served on the table.

Why is the semi-finished product of this film? Because this film did not think about how to deal with the relationship between the characters, it was made. There are four main characters in the film, three men and one woman. The woman is just a "necessary female character in the film". The remaining three men, the two partners who have been together since childhood, have been separated for far-fetched reasons. No matter how arrogant the magician is, he will not make fun of his life without doing any pre-practice. As for reunion, just go to a restaurant to meet, and reunite.

As for Lao Jin, his role is obviously satirizing the current visual department magician, which is interesting to say. The magician is originally responsible for visual stimulation, so the "visual department magician" will intensify and stimulate the audience more strongly. . Indeed, some magics do rely on nausea and blood to add visual effects, but this film did not think about how to refute this phenomenon, only said "children may imitate", you know, traditional magic also has chaotic swords through people. Kind of. In the later period, the two Steves did not come up with any better magic to refute the bloody magic, but used an extremely inferior and vulgar "large-scale disappearance magic" to dispel the audience. The comic effect was achieved, but it was really not suitable for it. The highlight at the end of the film, as for how inferior it is, everyone will know it after watching it. This film intends to tell a story about how traditional magic fights novel and modern magic, but the screenwriter seems to know nothing about magic, so he can't make up any interesting stories.

These protagonists are also veteran actors who have been on the battlefield anyway, and the script has such a big problem. It can only be said that money can make ghosts worse. It's a pity that these actors could have created a nuclear-bomb-level comedy. This film is more mature about growth and inspiration than magic itself. Seeing the blonde girl from the Scrap League, Bossemi has a great comedy effect. He feels that his performance is the kind of convincing type, and there is no trace of the performance.
