It misses perhaps as often as it hits, but Jim Carrey's manic bombast, Cameron Diaz' blowsy appeal, and the film's overall cartoony bombast keep The Mask afloat. Read critic reviews

When his face turns green and his limbs get limber, Carrey's pretty much unstoppable. This cartoon-y creation is an amazing fusion of physical comedy and state-of-the- art cinema illusion.

The gangland plot is flimsy (bad guy Peter Greene wears too much eyeliner), and the jokes are erratic, but it's a far better showcase for Carrey's comic-from-Uranus talent than Ace Ventura.

Carrey and his aggressive overbite are back, but this time he's better used as an ingredient instead of as the plot.

If a movie star was born in Ace Ventura, he is christened in The Mask. Quite simply, this is the best and freest crazy comedy to come along since Beetlejuice.

Not only is he adept at physical humor, the kind of knockabout stuff that recalls the classic silent clowns, but Carrey also has a bright and likable screen presence, a lost puppy quality that is surprisingly endearing.

Carrey now has the clout to find a vehicle worthy of his hyperactive gooniness. When he does, we'll see if he's truly a jester for our time or simply the moron of the moment.

What an absolutely perfect role for the out-of-control, rubber-faced Jim Carrey, giving him purpose and plot that allows him to go as overboard as he wants.

Carrey may be the finest comic to come along since Robin Williams.

Audience Reviews for The Mask

May 03, 2018Glued together by an outlandish yet revered performance from Jim Carrey, The Mask utilizes the best out of its playful & animated vibe to shroud away obvious hiccups and focus on the hysteria of its wild, green-faced titular craze. 4.4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Nov 27, 2016This is the first time I have seen this movie. I enjoyed it, good CG effects, for its time, and it helped bring Jim Carrey to the forefront of comedy.Ian W Super Reviewer

Feb 06, 2012Jim Carrey is the key ingredient here and delivers a slapstick performance that captures the tone perfectly. The film might have been based on the comic, but it is not a loyal adaptation by any means. Diaz makes a welcome screen appearance and is far from the average newcomer you may have expected. The film is full of these moments and the film is better for it. Carrey deserved the success and the film is better for having him in the lead role. He is like a Robin Williams and the energy he delivers is ecstatic. The film might have aged, but it is still a lot of fun. 27/03/2019Brendan N Super Reviewer
