S-s-s-s-smoking fun!

Rating: 8/10 (30 August 2009)

Jim Carrey plays Stanely Ipkiss, a business man with a very unfortunate life.He finds a mask in a river, takes it home, puts it on, and a whole new Stanely is unleashed.'The Mask' is a silly comedy filled with tons of slapstick violence, yet it has enough energy and potential to make this flick a really fun one.Is is a good family film? Take out the moderate PG-13 language and guns and you have yourself a movie that's suitable for the whole family.The one thing that struck me about this film was the award that Jim Carrey was nominated for.Was it an Oscar? No.Was it an Academy Award? No.It was a Razzie.he was actually nominated for a Razzie for worst actor in this movie.Has Hollywood lost it's taste in movies or what? Jim Carrey being nominated for a Razzie in 'The Mask' is like Tyler Perry winning an Oscar for every film he made.Talk about bad taste.Overall, I enjoyed 'The Mask' and I'm recommending it for those who love Jim Carrey and cartoonish violence.
