This movie tells the story of a guy named Pistachio Disguisey who realizes that he's descended from a long line of masters of disguise. You'd think he'd be able to tell that considering his name is literally Disguisey? This movie is unbearably idiotic and it only gets worse and worse as it goes on. Pistachio meets up with his grandfather who helps him after his parents were kidnapped. He literally asks him how he was able to know that. He literally never answers, he just does.There's a rule that the grandfather of a master of disguise can't directly help him. Who made this rule and why? Also, how is it that his grandfather is able to help him learn how to put on disguises and slap people when he isn't allowed to directly help him? The master of disguise needs an assistant so they go through a lot of tryouts. Um, didn't they just say that the master of disguise was supposed to be a secret? Why are they allowing all these people to try out for his assistant than? At the end, the villain super glues his own face mask to Pistachio's father and he...just shakes it off? They do the same joke three times where the villain farts followed by twelve seconds of silence. Then he farts three times in a row and farts underwater and the end credits go on for eight minutes to make the 80 minute running time. Pistachio has this really obnoxious voice throughout the whole film too. I think this is the worst thing Adam Sandler ever worked on and that's really saying something. Jesse Ventura has a cameo and I bet this awful movie drove him insane and made him believe in 911 conspiracy theories. 1/2*

This movie is terrible. The only semi-funny bits are juvenile fart jokes (which they repeat throughout the movie as a running gag). I've seen serious drama that was funnier than this movie. Even Greek tragedy is funnier than this movie. Basically, this movie is supposed to be funny, but instead it's cringe worthy. The raison d'être of this movie is that Dana Carvey is good at impersonating people, so that's what he does throughout the movie - but it just isn't funny at all. Yes, there is a really stupid throwaway story about a lineage of "masters of disguise", but that's just a setup for Dana's impersonations. And they're not funny. He does an impersonation of Scarface which people seem to like, but even that one is overacted - which is kind of impressive when you consider how Al Pacino did chew the scenery in the original movie. Dana Carvey just CANNOT ACT, and he doesn't even try. He can make stupid "mime" style faces, that's all. I cannot imagine who their target audience was? This is way too juvenile for the Wayne's World crowd, but this wasn't presented as a children's movie, but rather a Dana Carvey vehicle?The producers of this must be blamed. What were they thinking?Avoid this movie at all cost - you have been warned!

So I saw this film for the first time when I was 8. Of course as an 8 year old, I found this film to be hilarious, but I recall my mother finding it absolutely stupid. I remember every kid in my school was talking about the film and quoting it not long after it came out. Now I have re-watched this film as a young adult, and I'm constantly wondering who was the intended audience for this film? The film is rated PG-13, and it's obvious because some of the humour is inappropriate for children. Ironically, most of the humour in the film would only be funny to someone under the age of 12. Overall, the film basically feels like a watered down, more childish imitation of Austin Powers. I can honestly see why this film has been long forgotten by the majority of the population.
