I also thought it was incredibly stupid, but people I know enjoyed it.

I knew I was taking a chance when I decided to watch this but I didn't think it would be this bad. I wish some info or review somewhere would explain that it is a dumb kids film and save people the time.. I have seen more realistic episodes of The A Team.

For whatever self loathing reason, I watched the sequel too. It's even worse.

lol

Yeah I agree. I recall that it was the sleeper hit of the summer and gave it a try on cable. Holy fucking shit is this movie quintessential dumb. The magicians are so cocky and arrogant but their tricks don't even make sense. I can't believe this movie has fans.

It was okay with a terrible and unbelievable final heist. The movie didn't need 2 sequels.
