The Master of Disguise Reviews

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

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

... 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

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

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

Never have so many jokes clunked off the screen to such a silent audience. And never has 80 minutes seemed like such an eternity.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 24, 2002

The Master of Disguise represents Adam Sandler's latest attempt to dumb down the universe.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2002

In just over a minute you can see everything that's wrong with this one-joke farce.

Full Review | Aug 20, 2002

An awful, stillborn comedy assembled out of rusty spare parts from secret agent movies and run-of-the-mill Saturday Night Live skits.

| Original Score: D- | Aug 8, 2002

If The Master of Disguise had been a free cable movie -- well, I still wouldn't have recommended it.

Full Review | Aug 5, 2002

A gimmick in search of a movie: how to get Carvey into as many silly costumes and deliver as many silly voices as possible, plot mechanics be damned.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Aug 4, 2002

The 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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2002

Lacking even a hint of humor or a watchable story, Disguise has distinguished itself as the summer's worst movie.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 2, 2002

The 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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 2, 2002

It showcases Carvey's talent for voices, but not nearly enough and not without taxing every drop of one's patience to get to the good stuff.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 2, 2002

At times, it actually hurts to watch.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 2, 2002

Dana Carvey makes a lackadaisical 'comeback' as a man of a thousand faces, none of them funny.
