Jim Carrey consolidated his “Ace Ventura” position as America's most successful comedian with this stunning tribute to the zany style of Tex Avery and other Warner Bros animators from the golden age of cartoons. Amazing computer-generated special effects drive this slick showcase for Carrey's explosively unpredictable talents, as he plays a mild-mannered banker who turns into a wild and crazy superhero when he finds a magical ancient mask. Highlights include the Bugs Bunny-style Cuban Pete routine, Carrey's pet dog donning the mask and gorgeous Cameron Diaz as the star's love interest. But mainly it's an excuse for Carrey to move with whirlwind speed, pop his eyeballs and swap parts of his anatomy for the cartoon equivalents in hysterically funny and tremendously imaginative ways.

The Mask star, 47, voices Scrooge in the animated retelling of the classic Charles Dickens tale, and producers based the features of the character on the actor himself. But the similarities between Carrey's movie Scrooge and his dad Percy's real-life looks are so uncanny, he's convinced his family will be spooked. He says, "That's the... Read more
