For grown-up fans of Dana Carvey, Master of Disguise will seem like a wreck of a comedy. But kids will love it, since Carvey's chameleon-esque Pistachio Disguisey is an endearing klutz-turned-hero in the classic Jerry Lewis tradition. So perhaps the youngsters won't get the Tony Montana Scarface reference, but his Turtle man is a hoot ("Am I not turtle enough?" is the catchphrase). 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 of Disguise, 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 favourably impress parents. --Donald Liebenson
