This is a bad flick that will appeal mostly to kids ranging from ages 5-11, but adults will leave halfway through. I found it almost tolerable.

Reviews for The Master of Disguise
This misfiring disaster shows just how over-estimated Carvey's writing and acting talent has been.
04/22/08
... Mike Myers has already milked this type of gag-dense character comedy bone dry.
03/07/07
George W. Bush in the flesh would have been much funnier than this movie's impersonation.
01/05/07
Top CriticThere follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.
02/09/06
Master of Disguise may be a real hoot, if you're under 10 years old, or drunk, or both. Not a bad time-waster on a rainy Sunday, but a time-waster nonetheless.
07/25/04
It is virtually impossible to watch The Master of Disguise and not feel embarrassed for stars Dana Carvey, Jennifer Esposito, and Brent Spiner.
01/15/04
In the end, Dana Carvey is left wishing he could disguise himself as Mike Myers, or himself circa 1986. At least then, he would be funny again.
06/26/03
The worst film ever made: a film about idiots, made by idiots, for idiots.
06/01/03
The fart jokes get the biggest laughs.
05/20/03
...Occasional moments of Carvey genius (many of which are seen in the trailer) sprinkled sparsely throughout a senseless, leaden production...
02/08/03
It is cut with all the precision and timing of an irritating kids' TV show, with kids themselves in charge of the production, and their pets operating the equipment.
01/26/03
In the dire The Master of Disguise, Carvey is seen to maximum disadvantage as a dim-witted Italian-American waiter whose family have an inherited gift for turning themselves into anyone from Bo Derek to George Bush.
01/20/03
This is a serious contender for the title of The Worst Film Ever Made.
01/18/03
It’s a great, resonant comic premise, yet the film fails on every level, partly due to Carvey’s charmless passive-aggressive manner – lacking the abrasive edge of Lewis or Adam Sandler, he’s nakedly winsome, a puppy yapping for love.
12/27/02
Never have so many jokes clunked off the screen to such a silent audience. And never has 80 minutes seemed like such an eternity.
12/24/02
I have to sit through it; it's my job. You don't.
12/05/02
The film's only laughs come when Pistachio is off the screen, and dressed as someone else.
10/02/02
The Master of Disguise represents Adam Sandler’s latest attempt to dumb down the universe.
09/26/02
Rarely has such a talented comedian been so wildly out of touch with what's funny.
