Master of Disguise
For grown-up fans of Dana Carvey, this train wreck of a comedy, is, in  the words of Carvey'sSNLRoss Perot impression, just sad. But kids love  it! Carvey's chameleonesque Pistachio Disguisey is an endearing  klutz-turned-hero in the classic Jerry Lewis tradition. So perhaps they won't get the Tony  MontanaScarfacereference. But his Turtle man is a hoot ("Am I not  turtle enough?" is the catchphrase that swept the playgrounds). 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 anAustin Powers-like franchise have been dashed.  Certainly,Master, with its cameos by Bo Derek, Jessica Simpson, and  Jesse Ventura, lacksGoldmember's A-list star power. But it is way more  family-friendly, and that will favorably impress parents.--Donald  Liebenson
