Despite being panned by critics and landing at number --- on IMDB's worst 250
movies of all time, this is not awful. Considering all the horrible teen sex
romps, this is a tolerable movie. Dana Carvey tries his hardest at forming these
near flawless impressions of Al Pacino from "Scarface", and (my favorite) Robert
Shaw from "Jaws". Sure, adults will hate it, but the kids will love the innocent
plotline and on key impressions by Carvey, not to mention Jennifer Esposito who
stars as his assistant is really hot.
Sigh, I
remember the hay days of Saturday Night Live when Dana Carvey was the king of
impressions and goofy characters, but in this he looks tired and makes
impressions look tired and old. After a long period of years with his absence he
finally returns in this travesty. Dana Carvey is a terrible actor providing a
horrible Italian accent with his lame character Pistachio. Not to mention, the
character is poorly named: Pistachio Disguisey... oh, his last name matches what
he does! Oh, man that's so... lame. He fumbles around the movie creating these
terrible characters, and what's worse the trailer features characters that
aren't even in the movie. There's some old lady, and a rich suave guy, and, the
worst of them all "Turtle Guy". Either he had no other option but to make this
horrible movie, or he did this for his kids to watch. Ugh. The entire movie is
tailored for kids but there are also some sexual references including many
innuendos towards butts and boobs. There are also a lot of "B" list celebrity
cameos from Jesse Ventura to Jessica Simpson who are put on display in these
meager cameos that add nothing to the story. There are desperate attempts at
pulling a laugh from the audience including the villain who farts every time he
laughs and a horrible pop up story book gag that instantly becomes tired within
seconds.s
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.
