Editorial Review:
An italian waiter fights off a criminal mastermind with his inherited powers of disguise. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Dana Carvey Jennifer Esposito Run time: 80 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Perry Andelin Blake
Description of Master of Disguise:
For grown-up fans of Dana Carvey, this train wreck of a comedy, is, in the words of Carvey's SNL Ross Perot impression, just sad. But kids love it! Carvey's chameleonesque Pistachio Disguisey is an endearing klutz-turned-hero in the classic Jerry Lewis tradition. So perhaps they won't get the Tony Montana Scarface reference. But his Turtle man is a hoot ("Am I not turtle enough?" is the catchphrase that swept the playgrounds). And when all else fails (and it nearly does), Brent Spiner shows up to steal his scenes as the villain who has a penchant for passing gas after laughing maniacally. No doubt hopes for an Austin Powers-like franchise have been dashed. Certainly, Master, with its cameos by Bo Derek, Jessica Simpson, and Jesse Ventura, lacks Goldmember's A-list star power. But it is way more family-friendly, and that will favorably impress parents. --Donald Liebenson
Master of Disguise Reviews:
Incredibly funny! 
2008-10-24 - It's just so silly and stupid that it's incredibly funny! Great for kids 12 and under. Fun for parents to watch and re-watch with children.True Reflections (Solo Piano)Lavender Dreams
Master of Disguise - just good, silly fun 
2008-10-15 - My children (ages 4, 8, and 11) and I love this movie. It's currently the most quoted movie in our house. It's just good, silly fun; well worth the 10ish bucks. No Oscars here, thank goodness. We had a copy that got scratched up so we rented it, cracked up, and are now here to buy another copy! In my opinion, a very underappreciated movie.
FUNNY
2008-08-17 - THIS IS A VERY FUNNY MOVIE. IT WAS A GIFT FOR MY NIECE. SHE LOVES IT.
MORONS!
2008-06-15 - This is a mindless piece of film making, but who cares!!! My 10yr old son and I laughed throughout the whole thing!!I'ts not supposed to be something it's not.I'ts all about stupid humor that makes you laugh!The MORONS that gave it a one star rating should of known before renting it that it was this type of film. Obviously there not Dana Carvey fans.
Embarrassing 
2008-04-24 - I was lucky enough that I got to watch this film on a road trip in someone else's car, as opposed to wasting 90 minutes of my own time (as well as a couple bucks). If you are forced to watch this film, that is probably the only time you should waste watching it. It tries to be funny, but fails miserably. I believe one review I read of it said that it disguised its funny moments better than the main character disguised himself. Sadly, that's the complete truth. Adults, you will find nothing here that's amusing, unless you're really into totally lame, flat jokes. Kids, you will neither find anything amusing in the movie, as the actors are not funny enough to entice any one of any age. The direction was also poor, and the crude humor was (as is in most movies) pointless and dumb. I felt embarrassed just watching it. Skip this movie, and you will miss nothing.
