Sometimes it's hard to tell if The Mask (or Jim Carrey's in-your-face mugging in general) is actually funny, or just bizarre and grotesque. And sometimes it just doesn't matter. Carrey plays a shy, Jerry Lewis-like nerd who discovers an ancient mask that magically transforms him into a green-faced, zoot-suited Tex Avery cartoon character with no inhibitions. As Roger Ebert said of Carrey in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the actor performs "as if he's being clocked on an Energy-O-Meter, and paid by the calorie expended." If that's your kind of humor, you'll love The Mask; if not, you may need a valium or two to sit through this one. --Jim Emerson

This movie in short was both a tribute to Tex Avery cartoons and an early showing of Jim Carrey's ridiculous comedic talent (including his singing voice). Ridiculous, over the top but damn good fun

It was also the introduction of Cameron Diaz. Although she's done well for herself I still want to know who suggested the change in her looks. She went from hot in this movie to very meh.
