This is a good film but not got that magic of Peep Show !!!

Brilliant film, i love peep show and when i saw this though id try it out and wasnt dissapointed, if you like shawn of the dead, run fat boy run, Hot fuzz or peep show give this a chance.

If you like Peep Show, you would probably be slightly disapointed with this. Not their best stuff, as the characters are too similar to Jez and Mark. Worth a rent, and probably worth buying at this price (I did).

What went wrong? Mitchell and Webb are probably the best comedy double act in recent years having produced great radio series of That Mitchell And Webb Sound, TV series That Mitchell And Webb Look and the superb Peep Show. Sadly this film shows little of their comic brilliance though a handful of moments are good. Very disappointing

as soon as I saw 'funded by the national lottery' I knew it would be poor. I love the peep show but this film was a serious let down, the story was predictable and slow I feel embarrassed for Mitchell and Webb

David Mitchell and Robert Webb are two funny guys... in the comedy 'That Mitchell and Webb Look' but unfortunatly not in 'Magicians'. To be honest, I got a little bored within twenty minutes of the film. From the title, I was expecting more magic. The storyline was based on two magicians who go in for one competition which you see ten minutes towards the end of the film. The rest of the film is just focused on Mitchell and Webb preparing for the magic competition.
Overall, I think the two comedians should stick to what they are really brilliant at - 'Peep Show' and 'That Mitchell and Webb Look'.

Gotta be honest, didn't watch Peep show but I saw that Mitchell and Webb look and loved it. It's refreshing to see the return of witty comedians as opposed to physical comedy (and I use that word loosely) which centers around visual gags which are not that funny. I was really impressed with Magicians, it didn't take itself to seriously which is what in the end you want in a comedy, well, I do, I want something thats going to make me laugh and Magicians did that and then some!

What a shame, this had the potential to be the great fast show sign off from a few years ago, just get a lot of mitchell and webb characters together and weave together a semi coherent plot and we are on to a winner............WHY DID IT GO WRONG!
My goodness this is enough of a film for a lazy sunday afternoon, anything more an the boys have failed us.
Trust me though, the laughs that are there are genuinely bust a gut laughs, if only they put in more!

Stick to Peepshow lads. Not your fault I suppose. The script and general premise were awful. Just awful.
