Non-stop fun

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2006)

Seeing this film for the first time back in 1994, unaware of its roots in Tex Avery's cartoons and such made a lasting effect on me. Jim Carrey is in top form in this fast-paced package of laughs, action and great music (the sequence at the Coco Bongo Club stands in my opinion as one of the greatest and funniest musical performances caught on film).
But let's not forget the colorful visuals and beautiful, on-the-spot photography, that really makes this film shine. As old-fashioned as this film is in many ways, it's also simply irresistible. Hold on to your seat, The Mask is coming!
