4/10
At least Carvey is being sincere..........

Warning: Spoilers
Pistachio Disguisey, a waiter at his fathers restaurant, can't figure out why he compulsively mimics his customers and desires to change his appearance.

What he doesn't know is that these traits are part of the Disguisey family legacy. The family come from a long line of people who are able to mask themselves as almost anyone or anything by harnessing the great power of Energico.

Such a talent makes his father the target of his arch-enemy Devlin Bowman, a criminal mastermind.

Now Pistachio must make the most of his inherited power in an attempt to track down Devilin and save his parents......

What makes this obvious disaster the watchable mess that it is, is the fact that Carvey is genuinely putting his all into the film, and looking like he's at least trying to make something that's worth watching.

It's the poor script, the really bad jokes, and the embarrassing looks from Brolin and Spiner that make the film the dog that it is. And as for the disguises, well the Robert Shaw one was okay, but the Turtle one? It just boggles the mind.

Esposito is okay for what she is doing, but half the time she looks like she is ready to burst out laughing.

It's not as bad as its notoriety suggests, but it's very poor indeed.

Worth watching for Carvey trying to hold everything together. No wonder he never made another movie.
