Carrey. Diaz. Perfect

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2001)

I am quite a big fan of Jim Carrey's work, as he has the ability to put on a smile on my face at the saddest of times. And The Mask shows Jim at his very best.
Carrey (Man On The Moon, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar), plays Stanley Ipkiss, a complete loser in life who works at a bank. But one night, he finds a mask that beholds great powers that can act out your deepest insecurities.
Enter Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz from There's Something About Mary, My Best Friend's Wedding, and more recently, Charlie's Angels), a singer for the Coco Bongo - a new hip club downtown, who's control-freak boyf is into robbing banks etc.
However, Tina starts to fall for Stanley and his wild counterpart The Mask. Next we have annoying reporter, Peggy Brandt, played by Amy Yasbeck (Problem Child, Problem Child 2, Splash Too). Peggy is determined to get the scoop on the town's biggest mystery - The Mask.
Jim and Cameron, are obviously the stars of the show, but Amy's portrayal of Peggy is pretty damn good, too! Another note-worthy actor is Max, who plays Stanley's dog, Milo.
Fast-packed from start to finish, this cartoonish comedy will leave you in stitches, and doin' the conga! 8/10!
