Summary: The Mask (1994)
Review: This film stars Jim Carrey in the popular Dark Horse comic book, "The Mask," while taking on an international crime syndicate in the name of justice and fun. The movie does seem a bit redundant at times and a bit too goofy, but the film still manages to be funny. The film is a laugh out loud riot, and it makes fun of all the typical super hero movie cliches that are expected. Jim Carrey gives a truly comical performance in this film, so it's no wonder why you can't take your eyes off the screen. Overall, this is a solid film for the entire family to enjoy.

Summary: "Can't make the scene if you don't have the green!"
Review: The plot is lame: a shy, introverted banker transforms into a party animal extraordinaire just by donning an ancient Nordic mask. And not only does this guy know how to partay, he transcends the physical realm and enters cartoon invincibility. Throw in a bad guy who happens also to be interested in the mask, along with the shy banker's love interest, mix with a night club that plays nauseating big band music from the Forties, and we have a recipe for a flop, right?
Wrong! THE MASK is able to sweep all of its annoying flaws under the rug by the sheer comic energy of Jim Carrey. And did I say energy? Carrey throws himself into the lead role with all the subtlety of a Cat IV storm; he yells, screams, jumps, runs, bounces, dances, sings, and makes enough facial expressions to earn a padded room. The comedian puts this film on his attention deficit shoulders and carries it firmly from possible disaster to grinning entertainment. And did I say grinning? Well, I actually meant laughing, because Carrey is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud from his first zany appearance to his last.
A young Cameron Diaz looks good, and doesn't get in the way of Carrey's comic tantrums. Her legs alone are worth 4 stars. And so is THE MASK.

Summary: AN OK MOVIE
Review: THIS JIM CARREY FLICK, WHICH WAS ANOTHER BIG HIT FOR JIM CARREY, IS ABOUT A BANKER WHO DISCOVERS A MASK THAT TURNS WHOEVER'S WEARING IT INTO A WACKY SUPERHERO. THE MOVIE'S ALRIGHT. IT DOES HAVE ITS FUNNY MOMENTS. THE SEXY CAMERON DIAZ MADE HER FILM DEBUT IN THIS MOVIE. THIS MOVIE IS GOOD FOR COMEDY FANS. EVEN THOUGH IT COULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS. FOLLOWED BY A SHORT-LIVED ANIMATED SERIES.

Review: It's pretty stupid, but Cameron Diaz is 21 in this movie and she does not look particularly bad in it, so that makes up for it.

Summary: I got my copy in a box of CORN FLAKES!
Review: You know you've hit rock bottom when your movies come free inside a box of CORN FLAKES! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!!!!!The movie, it was great for the kids, although there was some pretty suggestive stuff in there. For anyone over the age of 10 this is NOT a good movie, I think Jim Carrey is good- but I'm not a big fan of his movies. Dumb & Dumber will always be my favorite Jim Carrey film, and his Andy Kaufman was good. The Mask....it's just your typical Carrey flick. You might as well get Ace Ventura or Liar, Liar. It's ALL the same..... Sorry, Jim
