"I want you to check my magic balls"

3.5 – not a classic but good effort
Awesomeness ööö – Carrey rocks some awesome moments
Laughs öööö – yes a comedy that is actually funny
Horror ööö – don't try this at home
Babes öööö – worth getting wild for Olivia Wilde
Spiritual Enlightenment öö - the power of magic
"Olivia Wilde - brings the looks"
