Product Description
Amazon.ca
For a film heavily dependent on special effects, the best effect going in this 1994 comedy is the ever-expressive star, Jim Carrey, playing a shy bank teller who stumbles across an ancient mask that turns him into a green hepcat with extraordinary powers. Cameron Diaz plays the love interest, but the real purpose of the movie is to bring cartoonish energy and effects into a live-action production. Toward that end, director Charles Russell does the job, but the gimmick wears out quickly for those easily bored by this sort of pseudo-animation. Lots of kids adore the film, though, and why not? The hero gets to be a whirlwind of mischief and still get the girl. The DVD release includes optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, deleted scenes, trailers, optional French soundtrack and optional French and Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh

I bought this for my brother and he likes it and me not so much. so you would need to ask him I guess .
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've received Blu Rays before where the case was broken or there were scratches on discs even though supposedly called "new", but this came in perfect condition. I'm completely happy with this and have watched it over and over again. Long live The Mask.
Format:DVD
I still get lots of laughs watching "The Mask" after a full decade since it's release to theatres and even to this very day, "The Mask" stands as Carrey's greatest movie to date even amidst the funny films he's done since then.
The character John Ipkiss is a worker in NYC whose job goes down the toilet until he discovers an ancient artifact that resembles a mask of some sort and when he puts it on, it causes him to transform into a wildly erratic genius who goes totally beserk and Ipkiss decides to use the mask to fight crime in NYC but his mask is saught by a greedy criminal mastermind bent on taking over New York and kidnaps Ipkiss's love interest and threatens to kill her if time runs out and now Ipkiss with the power of hte mask must stop the madman before it's too late.
The ride throughout this movie is just hilarious and the comedic wit of Jim Carrey carries this film the whole way through. Go and get this movie as soon as possible. It's a classic for all ages to come.

Good HD Transfer
Not the crispest Blu-Ray that I own, but it's certainly the best-looking copy of the Mask I've ever seen. It's just a little blurry at times... Read more

Unnecessary bits ruin an otherwise charming film
There's a reason why this movie isn't shown on TV. While Jim Carrey is very funny, and hits all the right notes in this Jekyll-and-Hyde story of a shy, sweet banker who turns into... Read more

One of the best comedies from the funniest guy in Hollywood
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was really the movie that put Jim Carrey on the map. The Mask is the movie that solidified his position as the funniest guy in Hollywood. Read more

"I gotta lay off the cartoons."
This is one of my favorite Jim Carrey performances, mainly because the character he plays is so over-the-top that it fits his personality and excessive style of comedy perfectly. Read more
