In Theaters This Weekend: Reviews of 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,' 'The Call' and More
What THR's critics say about the movies opening this week.
The St. Patrick's Day weekend box office opens with several big-name stars.
In the thriller The Call, Halle Berry plays an emergency operator who receives a call from a kidnapped teenage girl named Casey (Abigail Breslin). Berry's character, Jordan, must figure out how to save her from being murdered by a lunatic played by Michael Eklund.
For comedic relief, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars Steve Carell as the title character and Steve Buscemi as Anton Marvelton -- two superstar magicians in Las Vegas -- who take great pleasure in their fame. That is, until Steve Haines (Jim Carrey), a street magician, starts drawing attention away from them when he introduces new magic tricks. Don Scardino's comedy also stars James Gandolfini, Olivia Wilde and Alan Arkin.
