Aidan At The Movies: The Master of Disguise

12/29/18

This is my first review of a very bad movie.

My favorite SNL cast member is the talented Dana Carvey. He does great imitations, that's my opinion. He does great characters on SNL like Garth from Wayne's World, The Church Lady, The Grumpy Old Man on Weekend Update, and Hans from Pumpin' Up with Hans and Franz.

But the movie I'm gonna review that he did, NOT HIS BEST WORK. This movie is called The Master of Disguise. It also stars Jennifer Esposito (The Affair), Harold Gould (The Sting) and Brent Spiner (Independence Day and Star Trek: Next Generation).

Pistachio Disguisey (great name, NOT) is a sweet natured Italian server at a restaurant owned by his father Fabbrizo (what kind of name is that?). He belongs to a family who is magically skilled at being masters of disguise. One day, a criminal mastermind, Devlin Bowman, kidnaps Fabbrizo in an attempt to steal the world's precious treasures. Now, Pistachio has to inherit the power to become the master of disguise in order to save the day. (Let's see how that goes...)

Without a doubt, thumbs down. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. In fact, it holds a 1% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. The storyline isn't that good. The humor is too cheap, and there's too many fart jokes. I really can't stand toilet humor. The main problem is that Dana Carvey got too carried away with his talent of impressions. He can do better than this. I mean, if they do another Wayne's World, that would be better, but I doubt seeing that happening.

PARENTS GUIDE: There's some raunchy humor every here and there such as a reference to private parts. Not much profanity. Lots of slapping violence, since the characters, for some reason, don't believe in fighting with fists.

DID YOU KNOW?: Dana Carvey made this movie for his children, because at the time, he didn't made any family friendly movies. This was Dana Carvey's last film appearance until 2011 in another terrible movie, Jack and Jill with Adam Sandler and Al Pacino.
