The Mask poster

Why people love it

People revisit The Mask for the same reason it broke through in 1994: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a comedy rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Chuck Russell keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The romance and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
