The Mask: The king of the rumba beat

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2008)

Now this is a movie that everyone should see: The Mask.
Stanley Ipkiss (played by the young and mighty Jim Carrey) has never had too much luck in his life. He works in a bank, has trouble talking to girls and watches cartoons before going to sleep. All this changes one night when he finds an ancient mask in the sea. From curiosity, he tries on the mask and BAM! one of the greatest monsters from the 90's is born. Now with a green face and a goofy yellow suit, the mask heads out to the city to live the good life. His pockets loaded with ridiculous gadgets and his mouth filled with cheesy one liners.
The Mask is a lot of fun to watch. Rarely does a movie take you to such an unusual situation and makes it relateable to the audience. Jim Carrey executes his role with comedic perfection. His voice, movements and expressions almost make it seem as if he had once upon a time been a maniac with the green face. The other actress that needs a mentioning is Cameron Diaz, making her debut as one of the sexiest women of all time. She brings all the boys out their seats and makes all the women jealous. Don't be surprise if you keep coming back to see this movie just because of her.
I recommend this movie to those who are looking for a fun time. It's a great movie and it will bring out the Cuban Pete we all hide inside our soul.
