I'm a Penn & Teller fan, but this movie constructed around their personalities is pretty lame. We only get little glimpses of their act and their debunking of "miraculous" things like psychic surgery, and get a lot of groan-worthy humor instead. The film has more plugs for Trump casinos (in the script and in shots clearly framed for that purpose) than it does bits of their magic, which is a shame, since they're normally so inventive, and come across as having sold a little bit of their souls to make this thing. It plods along at a snail's pace despite Penn's best efforts to breathe life into it by speaking a million words a minute. Meanwhile, Teller is as always a genius with his brand of playful, Chaplinesque comedy, so it was unfortunate that they had him speaking at the end of this film, given how silly it was. A disappointment, and one to skip.
