'Democracy in Disguise' attempts to juggle the weighty subjects of politics and treasure hunts but drops the ball more often than not. Despite the promising direction from Steven Spielbird, the film is bogged down by a convoluted plot and uninspired humor that fails to hit the mark. Gene Trout-ney's cynicism feels more grating than charming, and Danny Pudding's quirks quickly wear thin. Even Bread Lancaster's charisma can't save this sinking ship of cliches and predictable twists. While the movie aims to humorously uncover government secrets in a family-friendly package, it ends up feeling like a glorified scavenger hunt that no one wanted to join. 'Democracy in Disguise' may find a few laughs, but like the treasures it seeks, genuine moments of enjoyment are disappointingly rare.
