    I used to love it as a kid, but watching it now, I realize it's flaws but overall, I quite enjoyed it as a decent fun flick. The movie is hardly anything memorable due to a serious lack of development on any of it's characters, and most of the parts with Stanley Ipkiss were rather boring, but every time "The Mask" comes on the screen, the movie is very wild and amusing. I dig it.

    9.0/10

    A childhood favorite of mine, The Mask introduces Jim Carrey at his craziest and absolute best bringing as a result one of the funniest comedies of the 90's or at least for me it is. Its cartoonish quality may put off the most demanding viewers but in my opinion this feature is in fact one of the main reasons for its appeal because it played in its favor flawlessly.

    By borrowing also some elements from the gangster and film-noir genres and mixing them up with the absurdest type of comedy, this movie became something truly unique and unforgettable. If we add to all of this the presence and the talent of Cameron Diaz (playing a deadly but kindhearted femme…

    What a weird movie. I hadn't seen this in years but it was amazing how much of it I remembered. Jim Carrey is an incredible performer.

    It's over-the-top, cartoonish style can feel a little obnoxious at times. The storyline isn't anything earth-shakingly original, and the complete crime drama seriousness and intensity of the mobster villains always sits uncomfortably alongside the rest of the film. Yet at it's best, the Mask remains zany fun for the whole family, featuring some solid performances from Cameron Diaz and Jim Carey, as well as some hugely entertaining musical numbers sprinkled throughout. Plus the CGI hasn't dated horribly (yet) considering it was released almost 2 decades ago, and the rest of the film remains solid on a number of levels.

    The mask is a film for me that i like as much now as much as i did when i was a kid, but considering i'm really just a massive man-child it is to be expected. The film really being the perfect setup for Jim Carrey's comedy styling's.

    The plot follows Stanley Ipkiss, a typical working scrub. Who finds a Mask which turns him into a egotistical Cartoon character essentially. Who causes the ire of the local gangster. Jim Carrey leads the film fantastically, the zany nature of the story and his acting give the a comic book feel, giving it a timeless quality. The humor at times being very childlike, but at times having a real edge to it.…
