Master of Disguise, The

Dana Carvey stars as an Italian waiter who discovers he has the magical power of disguise. This mainly involves a lot of mugging for the camera, but Carvey doesn’t have the comic invention to pull it off – most of his “disguises” feel like ideas that were rejected during his days at “Saturday Night Live.” “The silly voices, the making faces … it was fun for about one second,” the heroine (Jennifer Esposito) tells Carvey’s
character. That sounds about right.
