Review
Carrey is on top madcap form in the Mask he plays Stanley Ipkiss a boring Mr. nice guy with a longing for more excitement and success in his life. When he finds a relic of an ancient mask he gets slightly more than he could have dreamt of he becomes a cartoonish superhero and at last he can live out his desires or not!
This film also introduced the very beautiful Cameron Diaz and what man can forget her first screen appearance as she breezes in to the bank in all her splendour.
Hilariously funny cracking special effects and a thoroughly entertaining story the Mask is a winner people and it's an absolute mustsee for everyone who likes a bit of Jim Carrey madness.
