      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It misses perhaps as often as it hits, but Jim Carrey's manic bombast, Cameron Diaz' blowsy appeal, and the film's overall cartoony bombast keep The Mask afloat.

      Carlos T Filme: O MASKARA @themask #themaskmovie #omaskara Elenco: @jimcarrey_ @camerondiaz @badass_petergreene @yasbeckamy Modelo: #comedia #fantasia Duração: 1h 37m Ano: 1994 Minha opinião: O Ano de 1994, foi o ano de Jim Carrey. 3 Grandes Sucessos foi lançado neste ano que se tornaram ícones em sua vida. Ace Ventura (fevereiro), Debi & Loide (Outubro), O Maskara (Dezembro), 3 sucessos que se tornaram ícones na sua vida. Uma pena que Jim nunca deu continuação ao Maskara pois se fosse na época seria muito, muito. Maskara 2 de 2005 foi um fiasco. Pois quem é o Maskara? Resposta Jim Carrey. Com certeza esta entre os 3 melhores comédias da minha lista. Tem também As Branquelas, Babá quase perfeita, Corra que a Poicia Vem aí, Click,..... Neste filme temos a estreia Cameron Diaz que teve uma maravilhosa participação. Mos aqui Stanley (Jim) um cara fracassado, introvertido e humilhado por todos. E vive em sue apartamento com seu cão. Até o dia que encontra uma mascara no rio que tem poderes mágicos e que potencializa a pessoa por dentro e por fora e seus desejos. E na 1ª noite ele faz as maiores loucuras com idéias criativas e ótimos efeitos, mesmo para o padrão dos dias de hoje. E assim vão acontecendo as loucuras até o dia que conhece Tina uma cantora com que se apaixona e onde temos mais uma das partes bem produzidas do filme com bons efeitos e muito hilário. Até que o gangster Dorian que é namorado de Tina se rói de ciúmes e toma a mascara de Stanley e se torna um demônio do mal. Agora Stanley tem que salvar a Tina das garras de Dorian em uma ação a mascara cai e o cão a usa e vira uma fera. Até que os bandidos estão presos e Stanley e Tina juntos com o cão. Um filme deivertidissimo. Mais uma vez, pena que Jim não a fez a uns 25 anos atrás. Tudo no filme é fantástico. Roteiro e enredo incríveis. Parabéns!!! Pena não terem dado sequência com Jim Carrey. Vale apena assistir? Com certeza e com a família. Nota: 10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Sheldon D Watched this as a child and thought it was funny. My wife had never seen it and all I did was talk it up, once the movie started I realized how unfunny it really was. I don’t think I laughed the entire time. She also didn’t like it. It is very childish and has a lot of slap stick cartoon comedy that just hasn’t aged well. The story plot is also very predictable and boring. I am glad it helped get JC going, but for me this is just not a good movie anymore. It’s mid at best. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Anderson O Watch The Mask often as a Kid. Has great and fun replay ability! Was told the comicbook source material was grittier, but the screenplay to The Mask, staring Jim Carey as the memorable Stanley Impkiss, shows a lot of range as a lead, and gave him a great amount of free roaming. Antagonist and Villian roles where more thorough was well. Strong visual effects of its time by industrial light and Magic. And sharp screen play for comedy. The Mask it works great 30 years later. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Theusx g Filme engraçado e divertido. Eu no momento rindo desse filme. Eu recomendo a esse filme e o Desenho também. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Daniel S Back in the day, the hit TV show In Living Color featured stars like Jim Carrey. Known for his goofy persona and crazy physical comedy routines, Carrey made a mark with his 1994 smash hit The Mask. I vividly recall watching this movie at 9 and laughing uncontrollably in the theater. The desire to own it on VHS was strong, and my parents fulfilled it. Carrey's unique comedic style in The Mask truly highlighted his talents. The film follows Stanley Ipkiss, a shy, unlucky romantic who faces bullying from various quarters, including his boss, landlady, and car mechanics. His companions are his dog Milo and co-worker Charlie Schumacher. Infatuated with Tina, a new client at his bank, Stanley's life takes a turn when he discovers a mysterious wooden mask at the city's harbor. When he puts it on, he transforms into "The Mask," a zany, green-headed character unbound by inhibitions or laws, seeking revenge on his tormentors and scaring off a street gang. Even today, The Mask remains a favorite in my DVD collection. Jim Carrey's performance, especially his Cuban Pete act and salsa dance with the cops, is a riot. Cameron Diaz shines in her debut role, exuding beauty and charm. Peter Greene's portrayal of the villain Dorian is chilling, especially when he transforms with the mask. The dog's transformation into the mask provides classic slapstick humor reminiscent of the Three Stooges. A timeless classic, The Mask is a must-watch for a good laugh and a stellar Jim Carrey experience, still ranking high on my list of favorites. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Elijah R Huge part of my childhood. Loved the movie growing up Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer When his face turns green and his limbs get limber, Carrey's pretty much unstoppable. This cartoon-y creation is an amazing fusion of physical comedy and state-of-the- art cinema illusion. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Michael Sragow New Yorker The gangland plot is flimsy (bad guy Peter Greene wears too much eyeliner), and the jokes are erratic, but it's a far better showcase for Carrey's comic-from-Uranus talent than Ace Ventura. Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Carrey and his aggressive overbite are back, but this time he's better used as an ingredient instead of as the plot. Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot Jim Carrey is the movies' wildest physical comic in decades. Come to think of it, has there ever been anyone quite this insane? Rated: 3/4 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast Jim Carrey is perfectly cast as the wild, cartoonish hero with small dark tones. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 14, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins What an absolutely perfect role for the out-of-control, rubber-faced Jim Carrey, giving him purpose and plot that allows him to go as overboard as he wants. Rated: 9/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
