Mild-mannered Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) takes Edge City by storm when he stumbles upon a mysterious and ancient mask.Running Time: 97 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 794043810824

Outstanding comedy!

Stanley Impkiss (Jim Carrey) was your basic bank clerk who is a nice guy but has some problems. He soon discovers a mysterious magical ancient mask by the beach as he later puts it on and changes him into a crazy green-faced cartoony being called The Mask. He does weird and amusing things as he fights crime and make people laugh including the power to romance a sexy nightclub dancer named Tina (Cameron Diaz), but mob boss Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene) wants him dead.

Hilarious and creative fantasy-comedy inspired by a Dark Horse Comic book ! while the original comic books were dark and violent, the filmmakers like Chuck Russell (Who did "Nightmare on Elm Street 3" and the 1988 "Blob") had to made it a little light hearted for the screen yet it worked like a charm. Cameron Diaz makes her debut in this film and made alot of men's mouths drop like the character in this picture, i like how this movie uses amazing special effects by Industrial Light and Magic to make the bizarre cartoony character's special powers and Tex Avery-esque gags come to life on the screen. Jim Carrey's physical comedy also provides good laughs as always, the film become a suprise box-office hit and one of the best comedies of the 90's! It's a must watch for the whole family.

This DVD contains good picture and sound with some very good extras like Audio commentary, deleted scenes, Cameron Diaz screen test, three featurettes, and the trailer to this and other trailers from New Line Cinema.

Mask is fatastic one

The Mask DVD is very fantastic on the basis of clarity and sound. It is very good 5.1 sound out.

SMOKIN'! This ISN'T Your Same Old Mask!

The Mask (1994)
(8.5/10)
I wasn't going to remark on this one, but this release I just picked up surprised me. I was at the WalMart with the missus, and we passed by the bargain bin, and of course I was dragged in by it but this time she joined me. She pulled out The Mask & said "Why don't we ever watch this one?", and I said "Because I never bought it, I'm waiting for a newer version, that one was made around 1997, probably looks pretty bad." But then she pointed out from the back that they credited "Lemony Snicket" from 2005. "Oh, they just updated the cover, but the disc probably is the same inside". Anyway she said I've bought worse for $5, so pick it up at least for our daughter, and I did.

Glad I did it, because I was wrong! Though the covers for the two are similar, this is a brand new 2005 re-release with 4 new documentaries and a new additional commentary. The transfer's gotta be new too because it looked great. Sure, you lose the FullFrame on the flip now (good riddance), but New Line should of packaged this differently because it's almost impossible to tell that this is a new version of the DVD. And for 5 bucks it's definitely worth the double dip. Just remember, the old version has a black background behind Carrey on the cover, the new one
is cloud-filled blue.

A great classic of a film that has so many firsts in it:the start of CGI becoming useful, as well as the film career starts for both Jim Carrey & Cameron Diaz (of which the extras give plenty of new attention to). After what each of them have released recently, revisiting this will remind you what potential they once had. Sad to see Richard Jeni, a talented stand-up comedian, who got his big break in this film, due to his real-life suicide 13 years later, but all together this was a fun time. Worthy of your collection (this disc version at least).

AN UNEXPECTED THRILL OF LAUGHTER........

FUNNY AND AMUSING. JIM CAREY IS THE ONLY ACTOR WHO COULD HAVE PULLED THIS ALL OFF.
WHO WOULD SUSPECT THAT CAMERON DIAZ COULD SING AND DANCE? LIKE I SAID, THIS MOVIE WAS AN UNEXPECTED THRILL OF LAUGHTER........

Not so funny now.

The Mask starring Jim Carrey was pretty funny and refreshing when it was released in 1994 but unfortanely this film fades with time. Carrey always gives a good performance but he's also kinda scary as the Mask. This movie is also the film debut of Cameron Diaz, she's va va voom in this one, she has great sex appeal. Good comedy but I'm pretty much over it.
