Terrific Kid's Movie!
I read all the horrible reviews in the newspapers, but went anyway when the temperature got over 100 and there was nothing else to take the kids (4, 9,10) to see. I'd have to say all the reviewers missed the point of this movie. It's a wonderful movie for the right audience; kids about 12 and under. I guess that many people see Dana Carvey's name and expect to find a movie targeted to the Wayne's World/ Austin Powers demographic but that simply is not the case. The kids were laughing out loud many times during the movie and the end credits. The story is easy enough to follow, the humor in not too cruel or scatological, and the jokes are right up a kid's alley.
I think the filmmakers blew it a bit in the trailers for the flick. Too many adults went expecting this would be for them, but come to think of it, the only time I saw previews for this was during movies for kids. Dads, take your younger children and they'll have a great time. My 4 year olds favorite part was the way the evil villain kept ending his devious laugh. It made me laugh too.

got milk?
"Master of Disguise" is not a GREAT MOVIE.
I understand if people don't like it.
It is surreal and you never know what is going to happen in the very next minute.
It is ridiculous, confusing, fast paced, downright stupid, and childish.

These are the things that made me love it.

Dana Carvey has made a crazy movie for kids who love absurd humour.
If you remember making up stories with your siblings or friends, stories that made you shoot milk out your collective noses - but made your parents roll their eyes because you were "acting silly" - then you will understand "Master of Disguise".

I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard in a movie theatre. I couldn't breath at certain points. I should warn you, in a theatre full of kids and adults I was 1 of only 3 people laughing. (No, I wasn't stoned or drunk).

This is a movie made with Dana's kids in mind.
I enjoyed it as if I was 7 years old again.
I hope this movie has a long life on video.
I hope you laugh until milk shoots out your nose.

Just a Bad Movie!
"The Master of Disguise" is a terrible, terrible, movie. I don't see how this movie can appeal to anybody, including children to whom this movie is aimed at. I hated it. There was no point for it to be released in the movies, and it could have been a direct to video movie, and it wouldn't have ever made a difference. it is only about 65 minutes long, with a good 15 minutes worth of credits that just have outtakes and deleted scenes. Without the credits, this could be one of the shortest movies ever made, the lenght of the silent movies back in 1910. The biggest problem with "The Master of Disguise" is that it doesn't work on any level. The story is just plain dumb, the acting is horrible, and the movie is filled with A list actors, none of them which would make me want to put them back on the A list. I used to think Dana Carvey was funny before this movie came out. I have only given four other movies one star. "The Sum of All Fears," "Bridjet Jone's Diary," "A Mighty Wind," and "House of the Dead." For this to be among those movies must be badd. I probably laughed twice during this movie, and even those jokes were things that I wouldn't laugh at again.

The story is about Pistachio Disguisey who is a young man who works as a waiter at his parents Italian resturant. He lives with his father Frabbrizio and his mother, who he one days wishes to marry a women just like her. That women is Sophia, who reminds him just of her. What Pistachio doesn't know is that his father and his grandfather and all of his ancesters are masters of disguises. They could transform into anything they want to. His father foiled the plans of Devlin Bowman years ago, and now he's back from prision for revenge. He kidnaps Pistachio's parents, and uses the father to disguise himself as famous people to steal famous things, and he uses the mother to cook. Pistachio becomes scared because he doesn't know what to do, and he gets a visit from his grandfather who begins to train him to become a master of disguise. Grandpa tells Pistachio that he needs a person to help him, and he uses Jennifer, who needs the work. Jennifer and Pistachio go to rescue his parents from Devlin Bowman, which forces him to use many different disguises to do so.

Yes, I know, the plot could sound appealing for people, including kids, but the movie is nothing but boring. It was just a terrible movie. There was one scene, in the commericals part of it is shown, where Pistachio is dressed up as a turtle. The kids in the theatre knew the scene from the commericals, but nobody laughed at it. It may have sounded funny in the commerical, but in the moving itself, it just didn't work. It was a stupid reason to show a joke like that, and the scene contains him biting off a person's nose. That was just plain stupid. Nobody laughed at that either. "The Master of Disguise" is a good movie to watch if you want to be bored, and you want to cut your arm off so you can have something to throw around as something to do. I didn't like it, but you might.

ENJOY!

Rated PG for mild language and some crude humor.
