Austin Wolff, Bo Derek, Brent Spiner

Pistachio Disguisey, a sweet natured Italian waiter at his father Fabbrizio's restaurant, can't figure out why he compulsively mimics his customers and desires to change his appearance. What he doesn'...( read more  read more... )t know yet is that these traits are part of the Disguisey family secret legacy. Fabbrizio has never told his son that he comes from a long line of masters of disguise able to mask themselves as almost anyone or anything by harnessing the great power of "Energico". Such talent makes Fabbrizio the kidnapping target of his former archenemy, Devlin Bowman, a criminal mastermind with a plot to steal the world's most precious treasures. At first Pistachio is not very effective as he attempts to control his inherited power, but soon, with the help of beautiful assistant Jennifer, he's spinning through a manic blur of eccentric characterizations in an attempt to track down Devlin and save his parents.

    Stupid humor throughout.
  • September 3, 2007
    overall pretty awful, but I'll give it a decent review for Dana Carvey's impression of Robert Shaw alone.

    turtle turtle turtle!

    Makes a fine addition to my collection.

    The opening title song keeps telling us "This Is Gonna Be Fun" - maybe they're trying to hypnotize us into thinking it's a good movie. It's not.

    I enjoyed it for its badness. Dana Carvey plays "Pistachio", the son of a great Italian disuise master, with some of his fathers' ta...( read more)lent. Pistachio dons some super corny disguises to get the girl he wants, and outsmart some gangsters led by Brent Spiner (Commander Data of Star Trek: The Next Generation).

    I liked the Turtle disguise the most. Everything is so dorky and corny. Smell the cheese and savor it.

    Great movie, have to admit Dana did better in this movie then Adam did.
  • November 10, 2009
    I was 12 or something when I saw this.. and it bored the hell out of me.

    Dana Carvey (also known from Wayne's World) plays the Master of Disguise in this movie. He always finds himself mimicing other people and when he finds out that his father has been the master of disguise he decides to follow his father's footsteps. I thought this movie was ok, no...( read more)t very good because it was a little too goofy for my taste.

    NOT HORRIBLE, BUT NO MASTERPIECE EITHER

    Really funny movie in a silly way I suppose. Turtle, turtle, turtle, turtle!

Critic Reviews

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

In just over a minute you can see everything that's wrong with this one-joke farce. full review

August 2, 2002
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Lacking even a hint of humor or a watchable story, Disguise has distinguished itself as the summer's worst movie. full review

August 2, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

At times, it actually hurts to watch. full review

August 2, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The movie is a desperate miscalculation. It gives poor Dana Carvey nothing to do that is really funny, and then expects us to laugh because he acts so goofy all the time. full review

August 1, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Cruelly and brutally unfunny. full review

    The best part about this movie, is after you are done watching it, you put the DVD in the microwave and watch it short circuit and smoke..... the smoke is more entertaining.

    If the firefighters have to come to put the fire out.... at least someone will be there to clean up the blood. When you pull the trigger of the shotgun resting on your temple. So you can end the suffering you mind just endured watching the worlds worst movie made.

    ahhhhh.... I feel better now. Sorry Dana Carvy, and to think before this movie.... I was a fan.
