In this 1994 fantasy comedy, mild-mannered bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss discovers an ancient mask imbued with the powers of the Norse god Loki, which transforms him into a wild, reality-bending cartoon character. Jim Carrey's explosive physical performance and groundbreaking visual effects made the film a massive box office hit. The movie perfectly blended comedy, romance, and action while launching Cameron Diaz's Hollywood career.
Contains several scenes that sexualize and demean women, and the treatment of female characters as objects or rewards for the male protagonist is considered reductive by modern standards.
