one of Carrey's best, 15 April 2002
Author: Special-K88

Broad, cartoonish comedy stars Carrey as a down on his luck banker whose once uneventful life is suddenly changed when he uncovers a mysterious ancient mask that brings out his innermost desires. After developing a close bond and gradual affection for a sexy songbird and prospective client (Diaz), he then tangles with her ruthless, lowlife gangster boyfriend (Greene). Lively, imaginative comedy with big laughs and nifty effects that almost make you feel like you're watching a live-action cartoon. The violence borders on extreme, but there are more than enough classic Carrey moments to make up for it. A must for Carrey fans. ***
