Either way, he excels in this film, he is completely in his element and completely unpredictable. Here Carrey's role is split, his mild mannered banker and a wild, crazy superhero. And I also think that along with Liar Liar and The Truman Show that The Mask is one of Jim Carrey's better movies.
Mask song hey pachuco movie#
It isn't the best movie ever or anything like that but it is still a hugely enjoyable comedy in my opinion. And, in this case, Carrey was the perfect actor for the role due to his energy and athleticism. It's filled with CGI, homages to various cartoons (such as "Swingshift Cinderella") and is worth your time.
Can Stanley manage to stop the gang, save the girl AND stay out of jail? This film is enjoyable on a turn off your brain and enjoy level. Now, Stanley is part lover, part trickster.and he runs afoul of a gang intent on doing bad stuff. Upon discovering a strange Norse mask and uncovers who you really are down deep, he becomes a Tex Avery-style cartoon character in the real world. Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) is a nice guy but also a total wimp who lets people walk all over him. While the movie looks like a kids' film, there are too many adult jokes and kicks to the groin to make it a good movie for younger folks. Angelo thinks it's one of the best movies.ever! Well, while I don't match his level of enthusiasm, I did really enjoy the movie and think it's well worth your time.unless you are a kid. I have a friend in Italy that has been pestering me to watch "The Mask".
