The Master of Disguise (2002)

Synopsis: Pistachio is the descendant of an ancient lineage of disguise artists. He has been kept unaware of this family tradition by his parents, but when said parents are kidnapped by a thug who intends to use one of them to help him rob historical objects Pistachio's grandfather teaches him how to become the master of disguise so that he may rescue his parents.
Appraisal: Sloppily written comedy that is a mere excuse for the showcasing of the main actor's impersonating abilities, combined with the make-up artist's own abilities. Some of the impersonations are moderately funny, and the female sidekick is played by a good comedian. But the film is utterly forgettable.
Rating: 25
