George W. Bush in the flesh would have been much funnier than this movie's impersonation.

Synopsis: 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... [More]

Reviews for The Master of Disguise
Top CriticIn just over a minute you can see everything that's wrong with this one-joke farce.
08/20/02
Top CriticAn awful, stillborn comedy assembled out of rusty spare parts from secret agent movies and run-of-the-mill Saturday Night Live skits.
08/08/02
Top CriticIf The Master of Disguise had been a free cable movie -- well, I still wouldn’t have recommended it.
08/05/02
Top CriticThe film contains no good jokes, no good scenes, barely a moment when Carvey's Saturday Night Live-honed mimicry rises above the level of embarrassment.
08/03/02
Top CriticLacking even a hint of humor or a watchable story, Disguise has distinguished itself as the summer's worst movie.
08/02/02
Top CriticThe only camouflage Carvey should now be considering is a paper bag to wear over his head when he goes out into public, to avoid being recognized as the man who bilked unsuspecting moviegoers.
08/02/02
Top CriticAt times, it actually hurts to watch.
08/02/02
Top CriticDana Carvey makes a lackadaisical 'comeback' as a man of a thousand faces, none of them funny.
08/02/02
Top CriticA calamitous attempt at reviving the anarchic, little-kid spirit of Jerry Lewis.
08/02/02
Top CriticNo one but a convict guilty of some truly heinous crime should have to sit through The Master of Disguise.
08/02/02
Top CriticAn embarrassing mess for all involved, this so-called family comedy is about as unfunny as unfunny gets. Even its fart jokes are below the industry standard.
08/02/02
Top CriticDespite all evidence to the contrary, this clunker has somehow managed to pose as an actual feature movie, the kind that charges full admission and gets hyped on TV and purports to amuse small children and ostensible adults.
08/02/02
Top CriticA painfully unfunny mess.
08/02/02
Top CriticNeither [Carvey] nor semi-competent director Perry Andelin Blake have the ability to sustain a scene or idea.
08/02/02
Top CriticThe 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.
08/02/02
Top CriticThe Master of Disguise falls under the category of 'should have been a sketch on Saturday Night Live.'
08/02/02
Top CriticA jumbled fantasy comedy that did not figure out a coherent game plan at scripting, shooting or post-production stages.
08/01/02
Top CriticCruelly and brutally unfunny.
08/01/02
Top CriticIt doesn't matter that the film is less than 90 minutes. It still feels like a prison stretch.
