À propos de ce film

When he dons an ancient Norse mask, perennial looser Stanley Ipkiss moves at warp speed, knows people's every desire and can satisfy every whim, and dances like Fred Astaire, Barishnikov and Gumby combined. He's s-s-s-smokin'! Golden Globe-winner Jim Carrey ("Yes Man," "The Number 23") and Golden Globe-nominee Cameron Diaz ("There's Something About Mary," "Charlie's Angels") star in this story of a sweet, socially inept bank teller who discovers a magical mask that brings his innermost desires to screaming life, and transforms him into a superhero -- but one whom you may not want to call for help. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, Jim Carrey was also nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his performance in this blockbuster, which grossed more than $119 million domestically, and $344 million worldwide!

Notes et avis

Very different from the comic, Jim Carrey gives a zany performance that isn't likely to be forgotten. If you haven't read the original comic, Ipkiss is a bad guy with a magical mask he bought from a pawn shop and doesn't last very long, but this isn't the movie. The creators skipped past the first page to the second and said that's our hero and skipped pages until they found something crazy to see the mask do. Still a good movie though.

Jim Carey at his funniest & comical best, you'll want to sit on the floor to watch this movie, because J. C. does some wild & crazy stuff!!!

One of Jim Carey's best, and most iconic films. An excellent comedy, with a great cast espically Milo, the soundtrack, storyline, and effects. Jim Carrey is literally the "real-life cartoon character and fits in so perfectly as these characters. Never a dull moment in the film, from the begining with the introduction, to the Cuban Pete scene, and to the end, A classic film, that aged so well throughout these years. Real shame they don't make these films anymore like this. Big shoutout to Milo!
