    "Ssssmokin!"

    Stanley Ipkiss is a definitive loser, no one gives him any respect and pretty much everyone takes advantage of him. Then he finds a mask... Unleash the inner Ipkiss!

    "The Mask" is the perfect comedy for showing the talent of Jim Carrey. This movie is all about the ...( read more)rubber faced Canadian king of unorthodox comedy. Released in 94, the breakthrough year of Carrey (Ace Ventura was also released), the film hasn't lost its magic in 14 years. The CGI may be a bit dated but its all Carrey magic to me. Is it CGI or just Carrey? Go figure.

    "The Mask" is silly and goofy but I guess it's the whole point of the movie. Entertainment, that's all folks.

    If there was ever a film Jim Carrey was made for, it has to be this one. The animated star, suits the alter ego role, with the all the energy and movements he provides.

    It seems fairly strange to see ?introducing Cameron Diaz? on the opening credits, it certainly never did he...( read more)r career any harm.

    I really do enjoy this film, even if it?s just for the ?Cuban Pete? scene.

Carrey is the ultimate party dude, and like the masked man says, this party is smokin'. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The Mask is a perfect vehicle for the talents of Jim Carrey, who underwhelmed me with Ace Ventura, Pet Detective but here seems to have found a story and character that work together with manic energy. full review

    has to be one of the better jim carrey films during the 90's with such travesties like the cable guy and batman forever. the mask boasts some great lively comics of jim, and a great jazzy soundtrack, and hits the nail on the head.
