				"Kiss 
				me, my dear, and I will reveal my croissant. I will spread your 
				pate. 
				I will dip my ladle in your vichyssoise." - The 
				Mask 
				Why watch this? 
				Carrey is a force of nature in this zany role. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Stanley Ipkiss is a shy and unlucky bank clerk who stumbles upon 
				a magical mask that transforms him into a zany, green-faced, 
				cartoon-like alter ego. This new persona empowers Stanley to 
				seek revenge on those who mistreat him and pursue the glamorous 
				singer Tina Carlyle. However, his actions also attract the 
				attention of both the police and a dangerous gangster seeking to 
				exploit the mask's power. Dad's Preview: 
				Similar to Robins Williams' portrayal of the Genie in 
				Aladdin 
				(1992), this is the perfect marriage between 
				an outrageous comic book character and real-life comedian. Jim Carrey 
				literally IS 
				The 
				Mask! Add to that some cutting-edge CGI, and the result is pure 
				movie mojo. While wearing the mask, Carrey can change, literally, into 
				anything he desires. Lucky for us, this means countless personas and film 
				references. You'll catch a lot on the second viewing of this 
				comedy classic.
