Pistachio Disguisey
Why watch this?
This film just tickles my funny bone. I really can't explain it.
Plot Summary:
Shy and awkward waiter Pistachio Disguisey discovers he comes
from a long line of Masters of Disguise after his parents are
kidnapped by a criminal mastermind. With the help of his
eccentric grandfather, Pistachio learns to harness his inherited
power of transformation to infiltrate the villain's lair. He
must overcome his clumsiness and insecurities to rescue his
family and embrace his destiny as the next Master of Disguise.
Dad's Preview:
I simply get this film. It helps that I find Dana Carvey, and
his old-school, goofy comedy, hilarious. Many will watch this and say,
"Huh? Dude! Not funny." Every dumb scene slays me every time. I am laughing
right now just looking at the review. Perhaps it is, as they
say, "so bad it's
good". Perhaps it all of Carvey's over-baked and mildly
offensive impressions: Scarface,
Granny Num-Nums or the infamous Turtle Man! The plot is
pedestrian, the humor crude. I can't really justify any of it! I
just know that I love it. Perhaps, just maybe, you will get it, too.
