Great Buck Howard, The DVD

Greatness is a state of mind.

A legend in his own time The Great Buck Howard (John Malkovich, Burn After Reading) is a mentalist extraordinaire in need of a career boost. Once the popular conjurer of considerable secrets and perpetrator of fine-tuned perception, he has become a dried-up celebrity struggling for a last gasp of fame. Convinced a comeback is on the cards he takes a chance on law-school dropout and would-be writer Troy Gable (Colin Hanks, Orange County) to help him regain the adulation he once commanded. Aided by a hot-shot publicist (Emily Blunt, The Devil Wears Prada) and a little old-fashioned luck Buck is set to have one last crack at super stardom. Featuring an all-star cast including Tom Hanks, Steve Zahn, Griffin Dunne, Ricky Jay and a plethora of notable cameosfrom the likes of Gary Coleman, Michael Winslow, Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, Jay Leno and even master illusionist David Blaine, The Great Buck Howard is a biting look at the big time and the magic of the mind.
