Reviews
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
andrew_flay Great family film, Very funny and now I'm getting older I get the condom joke at "sorry wrong pocket". Very funny a must watch for the family.
Art Vandelay OK, I get it. Dumb and Dumber is one of the funniest movies of all time. Ace Ventura Pet Detective is juvenile fun. So it's no big shock Hollywood greed-heads would want New Jerry Lewis in a movie where he can basically do his shtick and they can make a billion dollars. But painting Carrey's face green doesn't make him funnier. It just makes him creepier. Sure, there's some clever stuff in here, like his ''dying'' scene where he mimics Hollywood westerns, among other things, before parodying Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech. Clever. Not funny. But clever. I could see this being the greatest movie of all time if I were 7 years old. But as an adult I didn't find anything funny. Not one laugh. Not. One. Depending on one's point of view, this movie's huge profitability cemented Carrey as the new comedy superstar. Lots of funny movies and $20-million paydays followed. But for my money, this is his worst ''comedy.''
adonis98-743-186503 Bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask. The Mask is my 2nd favorite Jim Carrey film and i love it because each time i watch it it brings back so many great memories from the 90's it's funny, it's full of heart and adventure and even Cameron Diaz is good in the film except hot too. The best scenes of the movie for me are all around Stanley himself he is dancing, singing, makes weird cartoony and goofy faces, he has like 50 guns in his pocket and he can change clothes anytime he wants to also the villain in the end turns into The Mask too and he looks goddamn creepy it's a shame that they never did a proper sequel and not a cash grab awful straight to DVD sequel that makes you hate the name of the film but anyways The Mask is still an Amazing Film.
John Brooks This film has typically gone underrated. This is Jim Carrey's introduction to the major international public, and just like every other film he'd star in, he steals the show. As I ask in almost all my Carrey-starring movie reviews: could this film have even existed, or been efficient at any level, with ANYONE ELSE but Jim Carrey ? This guy is like Michael Jordan for a basketball team. You may have mediocre coaching, game-plan or even other players, but with very little and him on your squad, you can still achieve greatness or at very least glimpses of it. People forget that underneath the graphical effects, there's Jim Carrey. He's the Mask more than CGI or costumes. The film is funny, fun, entertaining if you'll only go into it with the according mindset. It's a nice tribute to the Tex Avery's and old school cartoonish classics, and a wacky, wacky premise to even begin with. It's also got a bit of morality: we all wear masks; and also the Mask itself is only power, it is the one who wears it who determines if he transforms into a positive weirdo, or a monster. Well written, fun watch. A classic.
