Steve Carell Needs A New Trick: <i>The Incredible Burt Wonderstone</i>, Reviewed.
1. Steve Carell, leading man, is a lot funnier when he's not trying to be funny. He tends to work better in supporting straight comedy roles (most famously Anchorman, but also Bruce Almighty and even Bewitched) than as the lead (Dinner For Schmucks, Get Smart).

The Kind Of Trash You Love: <em>Spring Breakers</em>, Reviewed.
