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.

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.

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
