...fares even worse than its noxious reputation might’ve indicated.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 1, 2023

In a 40-year career in horror, David Cronenberg never dreamed up an image as chilling or stomach-churning as Dana Carvey as a human turtle.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Jan 29, 2019

While some of the make-up effects are mildly diverting (Carvey disguises himself as a turtle and a cherry pie), they hardly make up for the lame screenplay, barely coherent plot and increasingly desperate mugging.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2014

If Carvey's looking for a comeback, then playing a cloying dimwit with an annoying accent isn't the place to start.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 29, 2013

The humor here is relentlessly juvenile, and not even the kids in the audience seemed to like it much.

| May 29, 2013

It is not as funny as it could be, and none of it makes sense, especially Pistachio's ability to mimic any dialect but standard US English. But his versatility is astonishing.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 29, 2013

A film about as funny as a seeping wound.

Full Review | May 29, 2013

Such a sad irony that Dana Carvey, who's made his name bringing celebrities to life with uncanny impersonations, should make such a lifeless movie based on characters of his own creation.

| May 29, 2013

A messy disappointment for Dana Carvey fans.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 26, 2010

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 29, 2009

This misfiring disaster shows just how over-estimated Carvey's writing and acting talent has been.

| Apr 22, 2008

... Mike Myers has already milked this type of gag-dense character comedy bone dry.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2007

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

| Jan 5, 2007

There follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.

| Feb 9, 2006

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.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2004

It is virtually impossible to watch The Master of Disguise and not feel embarrassed for stars Dana Carvey, Jennifer Esposito, and Brent Spiner.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 15, 2004

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.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Jun 26, 2003

The worst film ever made: a film about idiots, made by idiots, for idiots.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 1, 2003

The fart jokes get the biggest laughs.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 20, 2003

...Occasional moments of Carvey genius (many of which are seen in the trailer) sprinkled sparsely throughout a senseless, leaden production...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 8, 2003
