The Mask Film Critique
I went back and watched The Mask for the first time since I was about ten. Man, were there so many jokes I did not understand the first time around. If my parents would have sat me down and explained all the lingo to me when I was ten, I would have become an entirely different person.
Realizing before hand, that this was Cameron Diaz’s first big movie, I paid more attention to her acting in the movie. And I must lie, it wasn’t very good. Maybe it’s the idea that she’s playing the dumb bimbo blonde, but she didn’t impress me at all, in this movie at least; there have many other titles that she’s excelled brilliantly.
This also being Jim Carey’s first big blockbuster hit, he acted as a cartoon to the greatest ability I have ever seen; and did I mention how dirty his humor was in this movie? No? Well it was fitly.
I wish Jim Carey would have come through and did a sequel to this movie. And I’m not talking about the horrible straight to DVD sequel s that actually did come out. But a highly produced, well written studio film; a film done right.
