'The Mask (1994)' has some surprisingly deep allegorical undertones and a nice message about being yourself, and your best self at that, to overcome the problems you previously thought someone in a mask would be better suited to solve. It also has a real underlying darkness, which shouldn't be shocking to anyone familiar with the much harsher and more cynical source material, which contrasts nicely with the cartoony powers possessed by the wearer of the eponymous facial facade. This is one of my favourite comedies because the humour comes from such an honest place, our hero first hiding his insecurities and then them being unceremoniously released in sometimes creepy ways, and the story itself works incredibly well without relying on its laughs as a crutch. It does all this while using its incredibly inventive and wonderfully realised rubbery, real-life toon aesthetic to brilliant effect. This is a real highlight of Carrey's career. 9/10
... View MoreGreat family film, Very funny and now I'm getting older I get the condom joke at "sorry wrong pocket". Very funny a must watch for the family.
... View MoreI consider this movie genius. The magic and the real world combined create an atmosphere that is so complicated and enchanting. The viewer becomes part of the story. I LOVE how Jim Kerry plays his part. His comedy style appeals to me and touches to a deep level. You love with the character and cry with the character. This movie is The Godfather of the comedy!
... View MoreBank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask. The Mask is my 2nd favorite Jim Carrey film and i love it because each time i watch it it brings back so many great memories from the 90's it's funny, it's full of heart and adventure and even Cameron Diaz is good in the film except hot too. The best scenes of the movie for me are all around Stanley himself he is dancing, singing, makes weird cartoony and goofy faces, he has like 50 guns in his pocket and he can change clothes anytime he wants to also the villain in the end turns into The Mask too and he looks goddamn creepy it's a shame that they never did a proper sequel and not a cash grab awful straight to DVD sequel that makes you hate the name of the film but anyways The Mask is still an Amazing Film.
