A Jim Carrey Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2009)

"The Mask" is another reason why Jim Carrey is a comedy legend. It is about a nerdy guy named Stanley Ipkiss who works as a banker and loves his dog named Milo. Then one night he finds an ancient mask derived from Loki (Greek god of mischief) that brings his innermost desires to life and turns him into a wisecracking green superhero that's basically a real-life cartoon character before our very eyes. This movie has everything from groundbreaking special effects, references to cartoon characters such as Tazz (when he puts on the mask, he spins around like a tornado), the Roadrunner (he dashes) Tex Avery cartoons, a great climax, and blonde bombshell Cameron Diaz (her first film role). This is a movie that I have, and if you like Jim Carrey, go out and buy it. I have watched it several times, and if you haven't seen it yet, please do. If you are looking for a movie to watch with your whole family, go rent this one. It's great fun for the whole family despite its PG-13 rating (should've been rated PG and you'll see why). My rating for The Mask:10/10!
