Master of Disguise
The second picture to debut in as many weeks featuring a star in multiple roles, "The Master of Disguise" makes a certain International Man of Mystery look like a towering creative genius by comparison.
An embarrassing mess for all involved, this so-called family comedy is about as unfunny as unfunny gets. Even its fart jokes are below the industry standard.
Through it all, Dana Carvey labors under mounds of makeup and the sadly mistaken impression that his multitude of characters will induce side-splitting convulsions with the slightest arch of an eyebrow.
Truth be told, even if it was a better film, it's unlikely that Carvey would have stood much of a chance taking on his old "Wayne's World" cohort Mike Meyers. And with the "Spy Kids" sequel arriving next week, this Revolution Films presentation looks to have a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't boxoffice future.
Clocking in at a still-punishing 70 minutes (not counting a bloated end credits sequence jammed with outtakes from elaborate scenes that are nowhere to be found in the main event), the story, credited to Carvey and Harris Goldberg, concerns the bumbling Pistachio Disguisey (Carvey), the latest and least promising in a long line of family masters of disguise.
When his mother (Edie McClurg) goes missing and his restaurateur father, Frabbrizio (James Brolin), is kidnapped by his old archenemy Devlin Bowman (a flatulent Brent Spiner), Pistachio -- schooled in the fine art of transformation by his grandfather, Grandpa Disguisey (Harold Gould), and accompanied by a lovely assistant (Jennifer Esposito) -- must spring into action.
For the duration, Carvey dons such knee-slapping get-ups as the bespectacled Turtle Man and an Indian snake charmer (with apologies to Peter Sellers) when not running around disguised as a pile of grass with a giant cow pie on his face or as a dripping mass of cherry pie filling.
But the pie guy's not the only thing about this sorry enterprise that's half-baked. Marking the directorial debut of production designer Perry Andelin Blake, who has worked on most of executive producer Adam Sandler's films, "Master of Disguise" looks like it was made for about $1.95 before a pair of editors attempted to hack it into something salvageable.
Given that Carvey has said he wanted to make a movie for his kids, the end result would likely constitute child abuse in a number of states.

Film review: 'The Waterboy'
After considerably extending his reach with the smash hit romantic comedy "The Wedding Singer", Adam Sandler is back on more familiar territory with "The Waterboy".
But whether you look at this latest as "Gridiron Happy Gilmore" or "Billy Madison on the Bayou" (either one would be accurate), the patented Sandler formula still works, darn it.
Teaming once again with writing partner Tim Herlihy, Sandler demonstrates an unerring knack for combining lunacy and poignancy in such a way that manages to appeal to both the jock-flick and the date-movie crowd.
While the shtick is bound to inevitably grow stale, director Frank Coraci and the ace supporting cast (including Kathy Bates, Fairuza Balk, Jerry Reed and Henry Winkler) add some considerable sparkle.
And although it won't reach those giddy "Wedding Singer" boxoffice heights -- it doesn't have that '80s music cachet -- "The Waterboy" should nevertheless prove to be a solid comedy thirst-quencher for Touchstone Pictures.
Sporting a quasi-Cajun accent, Sandler is Bobby Boucher, a sheltered, socially retarded 31-year-old who gets no respect as a waterboy for a college football team that could care less about his carefully balanced pH levels.
Living under the overprotective thumb of his strong-willed Mama (Bates), a woman whose cooking could best be described as swamp du jour, Bobby doesn't have a lot of friends, particularly those of the female variety.
But all is about to change when Bobby becomes the new waterboy for the emotionally fragile Coach Klein (Winkler), whose chronic loser team is about to get a new lease on life as he teaches Bobby how to convert three decades of unvented rage into awesome tackles.
Once again Sandler employs his goofball/naif persona to amusing effect, but just to be on the safe side, he's wisely surrounded himself with an all-pro lineup of character actors. Bates is a hoot as overbearing Mama Boucher and looks like she hasn't had this much fun in years. Firecracker Balk, meanwhile, finally gets to show her comedy chops as a knife-wielding motorcycle babe with a soft spot for Bobby. Winkler is effective as the downtrodden coach and Reed scores as his low-down, calculating rival, Red Beaulieu. Also amusing is Blake Clark as the thoroughly incomprehensible assistant coach, Farmer Fran.
While the film doesn't exactly break any new comic ground, the Sandler-Herlihy script has its moments of offbeat inspiration while Coraci, who also helmed "The Wedding Singer", knows how to keep things moving.
