The Mask Reviews

The humor in The Mask movie hasn't aged well.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 31, 2024

Over the top in all of the best ways, even after 30 years.

| May 18, 2024

Jim Carrey is the movies' wildest physical comic in decades. Come to think of it, has there ever been anyone quite this insane?

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 25, 2022

Jim Carrey is perfectly cast as the wild, cartoonish hero with small dark tones. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2021

What an absolutely perfect role for the out-of-control, rubber-faced Jim Carrey, giving him purpose and plot that allows him to go as overboard as he wants.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Sep 14, 2020

Carrey may be the finest comic to come along since Robin Williams.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 12, 2013

Adults should also be advised that the previews show most of the good effects, and are 100 minutes shorter.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 12, 2013

When his face turns green and his limbs get limber, Carrey's pretty much unstoppable. This cartoon-y creation is an amazing fusion of physical comedy and state-of-the- art cinema illusion.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2013

The gangland plot is flimsy (bad guy Peter Greene wears too much eyeliner), and the jokes are erratic, but it's a far better showcase for Carrey's comic-from-Uranus talent than Ace Ventura.

Carrey and his aggressive overbite are back, but this time he's better used as an ingredient instead of as the plot.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 12, 2013

Carrey, the star of the surprising hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and a regular on 온라인카지노추천's In Living Color, acquits himself well in a part of sublime goofiness.

| Apr 12, 2013

If a movie star was born in Ace Ventura, he is christened in The Mask. Quite simply, this is the best and freest crazy comedy to come along since Beetlejuice.

| Apr 12, 2013

Not only is he adept at physical humor, the kind of knockabout stuff that recalls the classic silent clowns, but Carrey also has a bright and likable screen presence, a lost puppy quality that is surprisingly endearing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2013

Carrey now has the clout to find a vehicle worthy of his hyperactive gooniness. When he does, we'll see if he's truly a jester for our time or simply the moron of the moment.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 6, 2010

...a kind of Roger Rabbit on steroids that still holds up well after all these years.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 19, 2008

The Mask is highly enjoyable -- if you can bear Carrey's constant tics and mugging.

| Dec 14, 2008

Adroitly directed, viscerally and visually dynamic and just plain fun.

Full Review | Nov 24, 2008

Though the story has a certain universal appeal -- who hasn't felt like a useless jerk and wished to wake up capable of anything? -- the execution is oddly sour and distasteful.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 18, 2007

The results are easy to watch, though awfully familiar and simpleminded.

| Apr 18, 2007

This special effects extravaganza is s good star vehicle for Jim Carrey, exhibiting his skills and his shticks; in a small part, the sexy Cameron Diaz is bound to become a leading lady.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 5, 2007
