Notes
Model Cameron Diaz made her acting debut with "The Mask."

This film marks the first time that the Academy award-winning team at Industrial Light and Magic has designed breakthrough special effects for a comedy.

The mask was constructed out of latex so that Jim Carrey's natural expressions would come through.

"The Mask" was shot entirely on location in Los Angeles.

Additional production company: Dark Horse Entertainment.

Copyright 1994 New Line Productions, Inc.

Rated BBFC PG by the British Board of Film Classification.

The Special Edition CAV laserdisc (Cat. #3428-LI) contains audio commentary by director Charles Russell, 2 finished scenes that were cut from the movie before release, a trailer and a still-frame gallery of several hundred photos.

New York Times - p.C1 - Janet Maslin

"...Goofiness can be its own reward."
Entertainment Weekly - pp.58-9 - Glenn Kenny

    The Mask will not dissapoint you, if you're looking for a laugh you've come to the right place!

    The Mask is a movie full of great Special FX, Laughs, and a Beautiful Girl (Cameron Diaz).

    Jim Carrey is great as Stanley Ipkiss/The Mask, and he manages to do a great job without going too far over the top.

    Although The Mask features some pretty Mature Moments making it a little inappropriate for younger audiences, it's a great movie all-around.

    Final Verdict:

    5/5

    Rent or Buy?: If you're a comedy fan this movie is already in your collection, unless you're a comedy fan who hates Jim Carrey.

    IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
