Reception

Although the movie was a massive critical failure, it still managed to make back more than double its production budget at the U.S Box Office, grossing approximately 40 million dollars. The plot was considered sophomoric even for a purported children's movie, compounding the fact that there were several "disguises" that would clearly not be recognized by youngsters (Tony Montana from ''Scarface'', for example). In addition, there were many indications that the film was rushed; for example, there are scenes hinted at in the trailers that do not appear in the actual movie. Also, the cinematography and special effects are considered quite poor for a movie released in 2002, especially when the camera very obviously turns away from a Disguisey as he is coming out of/going into a disguise.
On February 2005, the film was listed among the Internet Movie Database's "Bottom 100" movies, meaning that it is considered one of the worst films ever made among voters at that website. In March 2007, aggregate review website Rotten Tomatoes ranked the movie as the 9th worst-reviewed movie of all time. ^[2] Comedian and former ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'' host Michael J. Nelson named the film the third-worst comedy ever made.^[3]
