Mask

Rating:
Summary: Sensitive and moving
Review: This movie is based on a true story about a boy with severe facial deformities. What makes the movie great is not just the amazing and inspiring character of Rocky himself, but the acting and supporting cast, with a few touches of genius on the part of the director. For example, in one scene at a carnival, Rocky looks into a funhouse mirror, which would distort a normal face, but on Rocky the distortion makes his face appear normal. It's one of those spine-tingling Oh! moments. Cher, as Rocky's mother, proves that she has good acting abilities. There is very little sentimentalizing or romanticizing, to good effect. For example, friends of the family are mostly bikers who like to drink and party, and who are sometimes rude and crude. Even the mom indulges in some vices, which makes one wonder if Rocky's deformity might have been caused by the mother's drug or alcohol use. The film doesn't cover anything up, and yet it succeeds in showing love and character. It's a good family film that even the kids can watch.

Summary: Not Accurate!
Review: This movie... oh my gosh. Rocky is my step-brother (was). It makes my dad seems like a total jerk! And it makes Rusty a saint. When in reality she was keeping my dad(Roy) from seeing him. My dad also had another child by Rusty who contracted aids. I saw an actual picture of Rocky and I felt soo bad for him. But this movie is aweful how it portrays my dad and rusty. So keep that this in mind. All rusty really wanted was to make money and publicity. My dad(roy) actually wanted a relationship with him, and he tried to be there but wasnt given the opportunites.

Summary: Oscar worthy In every sense
Review: With out a question, Cher should have been nomainted and possibly won the oscar for her role in "MASK". Cher give's the perforamce of her carrer as Rusty, and with compansion and a tough as nail attiude she shows the love this woman had for her son. This release restores 2 delted scenes from the movie and couldn't be happier to have them after all these years. If you have not seen this movie, Do it now..you won't be sorry.
