Trivia
David Copperfield told some very confidential secrets for some magic tricks in the film, so confidential that he had them sign secrecy contracts.

Goofs
Burt's accountant Dom tells him that the $200.00 Bond purchased for him in 1973 by his Nana is only worth $248.00. An E bond (the only type of bond sold in 1973) purchased for $200.00 in 1973 would be worth over $1,000.00.

Quotes
Jane: [after Gray burns his skin for a trick] That is a terrible trick to do for children. What if they try and copy you?
Steve Gray: I'll sue them. It's my trick.

Crazy credits
During end credits, the reveal to the magic trick on making the audience disappear is shown in action--the audience is knocked out with Kratom gas, tagged, carried or dragged out of the theater, and tossed into delivery trucks to be taken to the remote outdoor site.

Funny Movie!

As many people here often say, "not quite sure why this movie gets the rating it currently has". This is a good movie. Great movie, no, but good and honestly funny movie? Yes! Steve Carell is one of Hollywood's more consistent actors and funny men. Jim Carrey is as well. It was interesting to see two comedians with completely different approaches to comedy on the same screen. It works. Olivia Wilde does a wonderful job. But what's special about this movie is the writing and how truly funny it is at times. I had several 'laugh out loud' moments and for me, a seasoned comedy movie aficionado, that's saying a lot. Maybe the movie just spoke to me at some level, but I still think it's worth a watch. Maybe it'll speak to you too.
