Why on Earth would any adult human being in the United States spend $8.00 to watch Dana Carvey play a character named “Pistachio Disguisey” ( :rolleyes: ) and mug for the camera behind makeup and latex for 90 minutes? In fact, why would anyone watch Dana Carvey do anything anymore? Granted he’s had major health problems, but has he done anything funny at all since, say, the first _Wayne’s World_ movie?

My prediction: This movie will make less than $10 million at the box office, and will be on video by December.

Well, it worked for Jim Carrey.

Umm, it’s a Dana Carvey movie. Those words alone strike fear into my heart.

Wow, just what we need. A rip-off of _Fletch_ and _Pretender_.
