To the untrained eye, THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD (John Malkovich) may seem like a magician but he's not. He's a mentalist. In his own humble opinion, his talents go far beyond mere sleight of hand; he can read minds, and is capable of hypnotizing an entire room full of people at once. But when TROY GABLE (Colin Hanks) tries to explain to his DAD (Tom Hanks) why he dropped out of law school to work for a mentalist, it doesn't go over very well. In fact, it doesn't go over at all.
In his heyday, Buck had a marquis act in Vegas, counted Ed McMahon among his close personal friends, and was a guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson sixty-one times. But now it's obvious to everyone — including Troy — that Buck's act has lost whatever lustre it once had; he plays Spokane a lot more than he plays Vegas, and hasn't filled a theater in years. In spite of all the evidence against him, Buck is convinced his big comeback is right around the corner. And, for reasons he can't quite explain, Troy decides to stick around and find out. Thus begins a clever comedy about a confused young man and the unlikeliest of teachers. Much to his father's chagrin, Troy's about to learn a few tricks he couldn't have picked up in law school.

anybody know what the song was in the ending credits? or better yet the song, and who sang it? My mom was watching it as i was in the other room and i could hear the song, but she didnt know what it was either.
I was turned off to this movie based on the salad tossing joke in the trailer. Just seemed forced and lame. Turns out, its not a joke in the movie. Hanks doesn't react to the line at all. The trailer spliced the lines together to make it's own little lame joke. It cost them a potential ticket. Bad trailer, good movie.
This movie was great. It was sad and uplifting at the same time - I love Malkovich I just watched the Amazing Kreskin on NBC Video Rewind with JIMMY FALLON-he worked with J Malkovich Kreskin was the inspiration for Johnny Carson's "The amazing Carnac" that viewers loved on the tonight show!
