Trivia:
When The Mask goes to get revenge on the mechanics, the sign over the door reads "Ripley's Auto Finishing". The next day, when the mechanics are being taken out on stretchers, the sign had been vandalized, broken and painted, now reading 'Rip Off' on the two separated halves. more

"The Mask" is, and forever will be, SMOKIN'!, 19 September 2005
10/10
Author: Lee Eisenberg (eisenberg.lee@gmail.com) from Portland, Oregon, USA

"The Mask" was the movie that introduced my family to Jim Carrey. And we all thought that it was great. Carrey plays unlucky bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss, who one night finds an ancient mask. When he puts it on, he turns into sort of a cartoon character; think Roger Rabbit on acid. The really great thing about the movie is that they just turn Carrey loose. Anything that you can imagine him doing, he does here. A particularly funny scene is when the police tell him to freeze, you'd better believe that he freezes! All in all, Jim Carrey's humor will never get old. He may have given his all-time funniest performance in "The Mask".
