| - Ah...The Mask, a fun little Jim Carrey romp from 1994. It's one of his works from early on in his A-list film career; specifically his first film to arrive in theaters after Ace Ventura Pet Detective. It's built on Slapstick comedy and turned out to be very popular, although Carrey has stated that it's the least-favorite role he's ever played. It is based, Film of the Book style, on the comic book of the same name. Well, sort of. The original is not harmless slapstick, fitting much better in the comedy horror genre.
- Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey), a clerk at an Edge City Savings bank, is a shy, luckless romantic who is regularly bullied by nearly everyone around him, including his boss, his landlady, Agnes Peenman, and car mechanics who ripped him off. His only friends are his dog, Milo and his co-worker Charlie Schumacher (Richard Jeni). Gangster Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene) runs the exclusive Coco Bongo nightclub while plotting to overthrow his boss Niko. Tyrell sends his singer girlfriend Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz) into Stanley's bank with a hidden camera, in preparation to rob the establishment.
