Ten years after Wayne's World hit cinema screens, Dana
Carvey's career was still in limbo whilst Mike Myers had a string of hits (Austin Powers, etc.)
Carvey attempted to create his own star power with this
puerile comedy about a child-like Italian restauranteur (named Pistachio Disguisey, seriously) who learns his family skills of disguise and puts them into use to rescue his father from
gangsters.
Unfortunately, the script consists mostly of baby talk, the
makeup is below average standard and Dana Carvey is far too irritating to carry the movie.
The only plus is that this torture is only 80 minutes
long.
