should have been more like the comic

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2001)

The Mask is a light version of the great comic but works because of the Tex Avery cartoon animation styling. Carrey stars as a naive cartoon loving banker who stumbles in the lucious Cameron Diaz's plan for her boss to get inside the bank to rob it. One night while jumping into a river he finds a mask which transforms him into a fun loving character. The mask goes crazy stuff that he couldnt do as the banker and stirs interest from an annoying cop. The boss finds out about the Mask and tries to get the mask himself. Dazzling special effects and sexy Cameron Diaz dancing are highlights. The dog's cuteness is overused. ***
