Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A waiter in papa's restaurant, Pistachio Disguisey (Carvey) can't understand why, to their (and our) chagrin, he unconsciously mimics the diners. Fearing it might result in his son's exposure to danger, Fabrizio (Brolin) has neglected to tell Pistachio that he's inherited the family ability to morph into anything from a C-list celeb to a cherry pie. But when mama and papa are kidnapped by flatulent criminal mastermind Devlin Bowman (Spiner), who intends to harness Pistachio's talent for his own ends, grandpappy (Gould) has to step in to help him develop his skills and rescue the parents. There follows a fusillade of farts, dud sight gags and inconsequential butt jokes.
