Trivia

Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler turned down the role of Pistachio Disguisey (though Sandler remained as a producer). Dana Carvey then decided to take on the role. See more »

Goofs

One of the precious items depicted in the film was the Apollo 11 lunar module, which landed the first humans on the moon. The bottom half of Apollo 11 (the Descent Module) is still sitting on the moon today - it was for descent only. The top half, the Ascent Module, was jettisoned into space before the astronauts descended back to earth. So it is impossible for the actual Apollo 11 to be stolen as depicted in the film.

Completely silly, completely stupid, completely hilarious
11 August 2002 | by (boston, ma) – See all my reviews

I have to say, I'm a little dissapointed that everyone's ripping this movie to pieces. Granted... the story makes very little sense (this didn't seem to stop Austin Powers 3 from getting rave reviews), but you know what? So what? This film is a fast-paced kid's movie and there's only one reason to see it: Dana Carvey. He's absolutely brilliant. He creates one of his best characters ever (The Turtle) and does some of his best impersonations ever as well (Robert Shaw from "Jaws" was a personal highlight of mine.)

When I saw this film, everyone in the theater laughed the whole way through. This is a film that will completely go over your head if you try to intellectualize it. It's just good, dumb fun. It reminds me a bit of those really insane 60s comedies, except that it's for kids. I have a feeling that this film will come to be appreciated over time on video and tv.
