    This showcase for the talents of Jim Carrey is adroitly directed, viscerally and visually dynamic and just plain fun.

    Carrey's a human cartoon, and his spontaneous, Avery-esque, anything-for-a-laugh outrageousness makes this otherwise blank Mask a must-see.

    The funniest moment comes when Carrey mimes the effects of the Mask without special effects.

    An astonishingly lazy and perfunctory effort that does little to realize his (Carrey) comic potential.

    This is without doubt one of Jim Carreys best movies.

    Jim performs in the way only he can, I consider this one of my all time favourite movie    s, and I could watch it over and over and never get bored of it.

    Cameron Diaz looks incredible in this movie, probably the best she's ever looked in her career, she is quite litterally 'Smokin' watch her first scene in the bank, and you'll know what I mean!    … Expand

    What kind of super hero is he? half the movie he spends his time trolling the police/gangsters. Still i found it hilarious when i was a kid. It is a good movie to watch for entertainment value.… Expand

    This film, in my opinion, really captures everything that is great about Jim Carrey: from a down-on-his-luck guy to a fun maniac. This is easily one of his best films.… Expand

    "The Mask" is very childesh in a general term despite it's elite CGI. BUT. It's Jim Carrey's half real, half animated acting that saves the movie.
