Bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is transformed into a manic superhero when he wears a mysterious mask. (IMDb)
Carrey’s wonderfully wacky physical comedy and over-the-top mannerisms find their perfect match in the literally cartoon-y (see the bomb-swallowing, bazooka-in-pocket) character of The Mask, making for a first two acts with memorably fun scenes too numerous to mention, with a thoughtful underlying theme of identity to boot. A lame, vaguely written villain (why did he want to blow up the club again?) really tarnishes the third act though (having someone else wear the mask kinda ruined it for me).
7/10 (Good)
Haha…oh I remember this movie from my childhood. This was when Jim Carrey was comedic gold. Plus, this was when Cameron Diaz looked the prettiest (in my opinion).

This movie is beloved in Mexico. Have you ever been? They have these insane night clubs called Coco Bongo and for some reason The Mask is their mascot.
