Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Praised at the time for Jim Carrey's facial acrobatics as the titular hero, IThe Mask/I also had real charm in its use of period-ambiguous settings and intelligent use of its heroine, Cameron Diaz in her first screen role. Carrey is as interesting when he's the put-upon Stanley Ipkiss as he is when he transforms into an amoral cartoon character (thanks to chance discovery of an ancient mask). When a sweet woman reporter tells him that he is the nicest man in town, it does not strike us as odd. The plot is a pretty standard one--the hero comes to realise that he can do everything for himself and does not need magical assistance--but outstanding performances by Peter Green as the gangster heavy and Peter Riegret as the irascible cop who has to make sense of things offers the film a bit more dramatic oomph. Add to this a couple of splendid song-and-dance routines and one of the most charming dogs in modern movies, and you have something moderately special.p BOn the DVD:/B The DVD comes with a very enthusiastic director's commentary, a moderately interesting making-of documentary and interviews with the cast as well as the theatrical trailer. --IRoz Kaveney/I

The plot is fairly simple, and all the better for it. The bad guys are disposable but their presence is felt nonetheless. And Cameron Diaz (of whom I've never been a fan) is undeniably smoldering in her debut role. The one liners are zany, for lack of a better word, and for fans of cartoon humour this is a must. Ageless... and Timeless April 13, 2007 Mr. Merge (Uk) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Watching the film again some... 13 years after I first saw it, I just realised how good it is. I mean, the settings, the music used - that could be ANY city, ANY time, ANY place, ANY where (if you ignore the American accents :p I always imagine it to be set in New York, but whatever!) and the gags and visuals used, appeal to all ages - some of the more obvious jokes I found funny at aged 5, whereas some of the subtler and more adult jokes I find funny now (aged 18) - there's something for everyone on it; there's just something about this story that is timeless - people will always be amazed by magic, people will always yearn to be something they are not - more confident, more appealing, more lucky in love, and this film is basically using all those elements, using great young actors (that were, back then) and the freshest talent, a great director and a fantastic plot and story line. Since buying the DVD I have seen it four times, twice with the ordinary audio, and once with the different audio commentaries. The Special Features, however, are a bit poor, but from a media student's perspective, it gives a very good and detailed insight into working in the business, and the shortcomings and frustrations of filming. br /The soundtrack - what can I say! Jazz and swing, and the whole art deco feel of places like the Coco Bongo night club - it's just got a whole 1920s, yet modern, feel to it - it's very asthetically pleasing, and... well, it's one of my favourite films of all time - truly ageless, and timeless One of the most memorable films in history November 20, 2000 shov11@hotmail.com (London, England) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful I have to say that The Mask is still one of my favoruite films, even after watching it so many times. Complete with plenty of comedy and a lot of memorable lines, this film remains a classic. Wonderful acting from Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz among others, and even the soundtrack is brilliant! Fantastic Talent!! July 4, 2004 Mr. C. Wardle 3 out of 5 found this review helpful Ok the special affects have alot to do with 'The Mask' but still no one else could of played the role of the mask but the one and only Jim Carrey. He is the greatest comedy actor ever. I love his films and this one by far is the best, the one liners he comes out with, his facial expressions and his whitty walk will have you laughing all the way threw it and the other 100 times after that if you have never seen this film buy it and watch it and you cant complain about the price of the film either from Amazon its great Buy it Now!!! you wont regret it!! Carey at his utmost best May 23, 2007 Jay (Mauritius) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful One of Jim Carrey's greatest comedy films. Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a lonely guy (who likes cartoons) who works at a bank. One day with his friend Charlie he meets Tina Carlyle (introducing Cameron Diaz). Then at night when driving home he thinks he sees a body in the water, but it isn't. But on this "body" Stanley finds an ancient mask. It's when Stanley puts the mask on that Carrey displays his slapstick with the help of some convincing computer animation. This mask turns him into a mad cartoon like hero. When an evil Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene) sees "The Mask" with his girlfriend, Tina, he is wanting to get the mask to help him with his plan to take over Edge City. A very interesting romantic comedy with brilliant computer effects Showing reviews 1-5 of 17 1 2 3 4 Next »
