Oh my! "Opportunity Knocks" and "Clean Slate" were not exactly film classics, although compared to this movie, they may as well have been works of Shakespeare. Arguably the dumbest movie I have ever paid money to see in theatre (thanks to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" being sold out), this does not fit in the dumb but funny category of most of Adam Sandler's or Chris Farley's films, but in the jaw-droppingly dumb category. My wife and I often gazed at each other in amazement during this movie, unable to exactly process that something this truly silly and dumb was made (much less by Dana Carvey and Adam Sandler) and even stranger that others in the crowded theatre were laughing their heads off! We were excited to see Dana Carvey back in the movies, but there was good reason why this movie was not screened for review ahead of time.

To continue, I should say we had misgivings about seeing the film after the TV trailers that kept showing the "turtle" sequence, but decided that part was just silly fun and there's no way the rest of the movie could be so unclever and dumb. To our amazement, that was easily the most intelligent and serious part of the film! Think carefully before wasting your time with this one.. I score it a generous 3/10.

Pistachio Disguisey, a waiter at his fathers restaurant, can't figure out why he compulsively mimics his customers and desires to change his appearance.

What he doesn't know is that these traits are part of the Disguisey family legacy. The family come from a long line of people who are able to mask themselves as almost anyone or anything by harnessing the great power of Energico.

Such a talent makes his father the target of his arch-enemy Devlin Bowman, a criminal mastermind.

Now Pistachio must make the most of his inherited power in an attempt to track down Devilin and save his parents......

What makes this obvious disaster the watchable mess that it is, is the fact that Carvey is genuinely putting his all into the film, and looking like he's at least trying to make something that's worth watching.

It's the poor script, the really bad jokes, and the embarrassing looks from Brolin and Spiner that make the film the dog that it is. And as for the disguises, well the Robert Shaw one was okay, but the Turtle one? It just boggles the mind.

Esposito is okay for what she is doing, but half the time she looks like she is ready to burst out laughing.

It's not as bad as its notoriety suggests, but it's very poor indeed.

Worth watching for Carvey trying to hold everything together. No wonder he never made another movie.

in this Movie Dana Carvey hides his face behind many disguises.unfortunately someone also hid all the laughs,somewhere no one will likely find them.this is billed as a comedy,which is OK,but it's not funny.it's not even amusing.it is however,stupid in all the bad ways possible there are some talented actors in this movie,but i guess sometimes actors sign without reading the script,(or what passes for one,in this case)Dana Carvey certainly has some comedic talent,but aside from the two "Wayne's World" films,he hasn't has a chance to showcase it.i kinda felt sorry for all involved.it was truly embarrassing and painful to watch.i'd have to give "Master Of Disguise" 2/10
