It's not a magic contest

I was looking forward to the film by Steve and Kerry for a long time, and I was lucky to see the screening. At first I thought it was a magic showdown, but it was actually a friendship drama with magic clothes. After all, this is not a magic video. What people discuss is the magician's life, friendship, or love.
The script is very simple, standardized plot: failure as a child-successful hard work-inexplicable failure to fall ill-help from beauty or the wise-self-salvation-return and success in picking up girls. However, the inadequate paving of the contradiction leads to the unnatural transition of the bridge section. The first half of Steve is simply a narcissist, and he is the most suitable supermodel for that magical role. And Kerry’s magic show with high expectations doesn’t know whether it is self-harm or brain damage, and the whole is still facialized. Why can’t this guy perform more of his best dramas?
Relatively speaking, the supporting roles are very brilliant. Several old actors show their faces in friendship one after another. Of course, there is David, but they didn't show up. It is Jin Ye that has the strongest performance skills, and this uncle's facial expression is really vivid. The two biggest laughs in the audience, one was Steve's sex scene magic, and the other was the decryption of the finale magic. But if the last shot is replaced, Steve pulls up the prosthesis and knocks the awake guy, and then the screen goes black, we add an extra star, but it’s like a gesture of closing your eyes in the dark, it can only make it still Belongs to ordinary comedy.
