AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 59,129
Rating: 2.5/4 -- It is not as funny as it could be, and none of it makes sense, especially Pistachio's ability to mimic any dialect but standard US English. But his versatility is astonishing. Full Review
Christian Science Monitor
May 29, 2013
Rating: 2/10 -- In a 40-year career in horror, David Cronenberg never dreamed up an image as chilling or stomach-churning as Dana Carvey as a human turtle. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- A messy disappointment for Dana Carvey fans. Full Review
Common Sense Media

Rating: 1/5 -- Never have so many jokes clunked off the screen to such a silent audience. And never has 80 minutes seemed like such an eternity. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- ... Mike Myers has already milked this type of gag-dense character comedy bone dry. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- While some of the make-up effects are mildly diverting (Carvey disguises himself as a turtle and a cherry pie), they hardly make up for the lame screenplay, barely coherent plot and increasingly desperate mugging. Full Review

The humor here is relentlessly juvenile, and not even the kids in the audience seemed to like it much. Full Review

Product Description:

The hilarious Dana Carvey showcases his dazzling impersonation skills in MASTER OF DISGUISE, a comedy about an innocent man who discovers that he has a rare, though mildly annoying, gift. Carvey is Pistachio Disguisey, a waiter who is plagued by the bad habit of impersonating the people he serves. He is constantly taking on alternate identities but cannot figure out why he feels so compelled to imitate other people. That is, until he learns that it's a genetic trait in the Disguisey family, shared even by his grandfather. When his parents are kidnapped, Pistachio realizes that to return them to safety, he must become a true Master of Disguise. With the aid of his beautiful new assistant, Jennifer (Jennifer Esposito), Pistachio embarks on his mission, portraying a variety of outrageous characters in order to get closer to the evil Devlin Bowman (Brent Spiner) and free his parents (James Brolin and Edie McClurg) from their deadly fate. Carvey and co-screenwriter Harris Goldberg use their lighthearted premise to parody any and every subject that gets in their way, from ethnic culture to pop culture. The result is a breezy affair that never takes itself too seriously. THE MASTER OF DISGUISE also includes cameos by Bo Derek, Michael Johnson, Jesse Ventura, and Jessica Simpson.
