THE MASK (1994)- PG13

Stanley Ipkiss is your average, everyday geek (read: loser): incredibly nice, but always taken advantage of at every turn, that is, until he discovers an ancient Norse mask that posseses magic powers, enabling him to transform into a debonaire, cavalier mask-clad Rico Suave. When the beauitful Tina Carlyle enters his life, Stanley decides to shake things up, wooing her in the process. But Tina's thuggish boyfriend, Dorian, is anything but humored, and, envying Ipkiss' masked-powers, resolves upon acquiring the mask for himself; if Dorian succeeds, however, it could spell trouble for a lot of people. Meanwhile, the debonaire Masked-man may be big with the ladies, but he's got the police force all up in a fit over his recent decision to rob a bank- no doubt as a form of payback for taking advantage of poor little Ipkiss. This gut-busting comedy is sure to entertain.

Director Charles Russell's "The Mask" is a wild, wacky, high-energy comic romp.

The energetic cast includes: Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz, Peter Riegert, Peter Greene, Amy Yasbeck, and Richard Jeni.
