As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The 40-Year-Old-Virgin plays an old school Vegas headlining musician, and when a Criss Angel-style street magician starts evolving the industry and takes his fans away, he has kind of an existential crisis and has to pull his head out of his ass.

I had expected cynical and zany, but it ended up being better than that. Don't go out of your way too far to see it, but it's worth a watch.

I second this opinion. A fairly fun movie. It's got a little bit of the over-the-top stupid that sometimes passes as humor these days, but not too much of it. Worth watching if it comes your way.

I'm seeing Jim Carey doing the line, and he's in a lot of pain, but maybe I dreamed that.

Very eh. Steve Buscemi and Olivia Wilde could have been replaced by their $10 counterparts and the flick wouldn't have suffered. I did get a small flashback to Fire Marshall Bill during one of Jim Carrey's tricks.
