In Depth - 'The Incredible Burt Wonderstone'
Richard Roeper calls “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” a Will Ferrell sports comedy without Will Ferrell and without the sports. Roeper compared "Wonderstone” to “Ricky Bobby.” Reviews from the late Roger Ebert’s old partner in critique are now appearing on Ebert’s website.
