Unmasking the wasteful ideas from other movies.

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 1999)

THE MASK was not very good. Jim Carrey tries too hard to be funny, and seems to be the perfect role model for a guy with the green face. Wasteful are the references from vintage Hollywood movies and cartoons. Remember the old M.G.M. cartoon about a wolf who falls for a bombshell singing "Oh, Wolfie"? That's among the plentiful you'll discover here. I also remember how this film was marketed. Why would THE MASK attract very young audiences with its killer display of tornado animations when it has enough violence to keep 'em away? This is definitely no ROGER RABBIT, and not what you're expecting!
