--> '''Devlin Bowman''': Am I? [''EvilLaugh''] [''{{Beat}}''] Huh. [''turns to speak,'' then ''farts'']

# Pistachio's father has been kidnapped by a rich [[strike: android]] crimelord and only Pistachio can save him.

* RunningGag: Devlin farting after everytime he laughs.

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage - Averted. Instead of actually seeing the interviewees, we just see the grandfather yelling "Out!" at poor applicant after poor applicant. Why he fires each is never explained.

* StarDerailingRole: Dana Carvey hasn't been around much since this movie tanked.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Devlin Bowman.

Meant as Carvey's triumphant return to movies following his heart difficulties, the movie was an unmitigated flop, almost universally condemned by critics and audiences alike. The reasons for the vitriol were the extremely racist Italian-American stereotypes, the very crude ToiletHumor, sloppy editing, and the various instances of SpecialEffectsFailure.

* StarDerailingRole: Dana Carvey; Meant as his comeback film, the movie instead torpedoed Carvey's film career. His only film role since then has been a supporting role in 2011's much-maligned ''Jack and Jill''.

* ShoutOut: Several; one to ChariotsOfFire with the elder Disguisey stealing the Constitution, then to ''Film/TheCourtJester'' with the Secret Service agent's "Get it? Got it? Doubt it." And, of course, [[StarWars "Energico" which has a Light Side and a Dark Side and gives the main character's family their superhuman powers.]]

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage - Averted. Instead of actually seeing the interviewees, we just see the grandfather yelling "Out!" at poor applicant after poor applicant.

* TheDarkSide - Energico has a Dark Side which Pistachio lampshades is just like StarWars. It involves using your powers for self-gain or BecomingTheMask when imitating bad guys.

A film starring DanaCarvey as Pistachio Disguisey, a bumbling Italian American waiter working at his father's restaurant. He has a bad habit of mimicking people unintentionally. His mother and father are kidnapped one night, by mysterious bad guys. So along comes his Grandfather who reveals that the whole paternal family line are natural [[TitleDrop masters of disguise]] who utilise a mysterious transformative magic called 'Energico'. His father never told him because he didn't want his son to live a life full of dangerous enemies. But to get his father back he must train in the art of subterfuge, learn the Disguisey martial art (consisting of slaps and blocks to humiliate your opponent) and learn to use the tools of the trade, found in his father's secret lair (behind an incredibly elaborate bookshelf in the attic).

* {{BBW}} - [[FetishFuel The Disguisey family have a thing for]] [[{{BBW}} very big women,]] but more specifically women with huge bottoms. Father Disguisey is happily married to [[{{BBW}} a rather large woman,]] and when Grandfather Disguisey points out what he considers [[{{BBW}} a good-looking woman]] for Pistachio, an assessment that [[FetishFuel Pistachio clearly agrees with,]] it's [[{{BBW}} someone even larger.]] There is also an implication that although [[FetishRetardant Jennifer is still slim and small of bottom]] when she marries Pistachio, that [[FetishFuel she'll willingly gain weight for the man she loves after spending some quality time with Mama's deliciously fattening Italian food.]]

Critics and audiences didn't like the movie very much, citing the extremely racist Italian-American stereotypes, the [[RefugeInVulgarity very crude toilet humor]], sloppy editing, and the various instances of SpecialEffectsFailure.

** Ironically, Pistachio's disguises always draw far more attention to him than if he'd just gone without a disguise.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Devlin Bowman. Too bad such a great name was wasted on such a bad movie.

* BabyGotBack - Any member of the Disguisey family is known for two things: being a MasterOfDisguise, and loving a woman with a big bottom.

Oh, and he needs to hire a sidekick, who must be an attractive woman, [[FetishFuel preferably one with a nice, big bottom.]] So Pistachio's young friend Barney sends his unemployed mother, Jennifer Baker played by Jennifer Esposito, for an interview and she gets the job (despite her obvious handicap of a bottom measurement of only 34 inches). So Pistachio and Jennifer hunt down his father's old nemesis, Devlin Bowman (played by BrentSpiner), and his new collection of priceless artefacts. Along the way, Pistachio learns to see past Jennifer's tragic lack of bottom-fat and love her, and she learns to love [[ObfuscatingInsanity him and his family's complete and total insanity.]]
