"S-ssss-ssss-ssss-smokin'!" - The Mask

What do you remember about "The Mask"? Did you see it in the theaters back then? This was Jim Carrey's second major film after "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" which was a huge box office hit. Also, for most of us, it was our first introduction to Cameron Diaz on the big screen.

But how does this movie hold up? What did the critics say back then? With all the new movies and TV shows nowadays, should you put all that aside and watch this comedy again?

All these questions answered and more on this episode of "Worth A Rewatch?"

Check out the trailer below as the first "rewatch"!

Here are some reviews and ratings:

Anthony's Pick:

"3.5 Stars out of 5"

One of Jim Carey's golden age movies. This movie brought us Cameron Diaz in a whole new way while Jim Carey just continued to develop his comedic style into a style that is beloved forever.

Al's Pick (4-Star Review of the Week!):

"Too silly"

My first exposure to Jim Carrey, age 13. Not a fan. I don't mind slapstick humour but this was too much, too silly. The only things that made an impression were the cool CGI effects and Cameron Diaz, who never looked this fine again.

Here's what AI says:

Yes, "The Mask" is generally considered a rewatchable movie.

It's a fun, high-energy film with memorable performances, particularly from Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, and its over-the-top visual gags and cartoonish style make it enjoyable to revisit.
