Let's face it, this is one of the rolls that made Jim Carry and there's a good reason why. This roll just fits him like a glove, the polar opposite of the Son of the Mask

Well, what can I say? This movie was absoloutely hilarous, especially when Stanley turns into the Mask and does alot of daft stuff.

1 of the greatest films from my childhood,i saw this in theaters and my mom didn`t even care cuz i didn`t understand that the mask pulled out a condom from his pocket or all the sex appealing stuff! I loved this movie,and even bought it on vhs and then laterb on dvd,and then when i was little i watched the cartoon series and then wondered why the hotty of my youth cameron diaz wasn`t the main female character and that idiot peggy brant was,but at least she made a good damsel in distress and stanley aka the mask always saved her heroicly.

i thought this movie was one of the best jim carrey movies ever made!

buy this,batman forever,ace ventura 1 and 2,and liar liar

This movie was funny. Jim Carrey was perfect in this movie as "The Mask" I think that it was one of his best works, and Cameron Diaz was a good election for Stanley's crush. This movie is cool!

  Carrey's a human cartoon, and his spontaneous, Avery-esque, anything-for-a-laugh outrageousness makes this otherwise blank Mask a must-see.

  This showcase for the talents of Jim Carrey is adroitly directed, viscerally and visually dynamic and just plain fun.

  This gifted clown has found the right vehicle for his souped-up silliness. Carrey is the ultimate party dude, and like the masked man says, this party is smokin'.

  The result is a movie character who seems half real, half animated.

  As a comedy, The Mask is genial, but its recycled plot is far too thin for the film to succeed as either an adventure or a spoof.

  The results are easy to watch, though awfully familiar and simpleminded.

  The funniest moment comes when Carrey mimes the effects of the Mask without special effects.

  The Mask, a rattletrap Jekyll-and-Hyde farce, surrounds Carrey with a nothing plot and a cast of ciphers. Still, his scenes as the Mask are rowdy and enjoyable.

  Carrey has yet to find the perfect vehicle for himself, but The Mask, while hardly as fantastic as it should have been, is a step in the right direction.

  Mike Werb's screenplay -- just a rickety framework for Carrey's consummate clowning -- lacks a propelling plot and has zip in terms of secondary character development.

  An astonishingly lazy and perfunctory effort that does little to realize his (Carrey) comic potential.
