Plot: Dana Carvey ventures into the world of PG-rated, family-oriented entertainment as star and co-writer of this light adventure comedy, which requires the actor to assume more than three dozen different identities. Carvey's primary role in Master of Disguise, however, is that of Pistachio Disguisey, an ordinary waiter with a hidden, mostly untapped talent for transforming himself into any persona he wishes. When his kindly parents, Mama (Edie McClurg) and Frabbrizio (James Brolin), are kidnapped by the evil thief Devlin (Brent Spiner), the usually meek Pistachio is forced to rescue them. Enlisting the help of his grandfather (Harold Gould), Pistachio learns that he is one of a long line of family members to have the power of Energico, a mystical means of changing one's identity to suit any given situation, and Pistachio learns to use these powers to their fullest to defeat Devlin and win back his folks. Carvey's original idea for Master of Disguise was helped to the screen by executive producer Adam Sandler, a buddy of his from their time on NBC's Saturday Night Live. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

This movie is hilarious! I loved everything about it and the costume changes Pistachio does are cool! My favorite part of the movie was were Pistachio is dressed as one of the characters from Jaws and is in the middle of the fish pond in a boat.It was hilarious!

Dana Carvey's career is buried six feet under . . .

What the hell is this? It looks like Dana Carvey has just ruined his career with this comedy that is anything but funny. The childish humor and tedious sight gags are so off-putting I wonder if the crew members tried hard to keep awake during filming. Carvey's performance is also a minus; Pistachio Disguisey is probably his worst character yet. I'm sure not every Italian-American acts like the way he does. The disguses, also, fail to impress. The Turtle Guy is a big miss; Scarface is almost an insult. Even the George W. Bush impression near the end wasn't funny enough.

The Master of Disguise was originally going to be R-rated, but Carvey wanted it to have a PG atmosphere. Well, to tell you the truth, I would have loved to see an R-rated version of this, because THIS version right here fails in almost every way. I know it's a family-friendly film, but I'm guessing the kids and parents that watched this film slept through it. With the exception of Brent Spiner's amusing performance and the Quint impression, I feel sorry for watching this film in the first place.

Grade: F
