Timid bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss discovers a magical mask infused with the spirit of the Norse god Loki. Donning it transforms him into an unrestrained, green-faced, cartoon-like wild man. While the mask grants him the confidence to woo a local singer, it also makes him the target of a ruthless mobster.

Viewer reaction
“Not as good as I remember, still an amusing watch regardless.”
Viewer reaction
“Fun fantasy-comedy that utilizes Jim Carrey's physicality, and comedic timing, to the extreme and while some of the jokes didn't land and the mask himself…”
Viewer reaction
“Jim Carrey is the drippy bank-clerk "Ipkiss" who is always looking for love but who never seems to make much progress.”
