THE MASK (Theatrical Release USA 1994)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

The Mask—another movie that shows Jim Carrey’s innovative and creative approach to acting—WOW! The movie completely surprises due to its fresh story. It’s difficult to imagine anyone who could have interpreted and drawn the main character so deeply other than Jim Carrey. Much like the Ace Ventura series, Carrey is the only choice casting could make for the movie. Great work for all involved.
