Passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait this Eye popping twist on the or fac Kyll and or Hyde theme has two big things going for it. One is the unbelievable special effects Quot Courtesy of the wizards at George Lucas Industrial Light amp magic that push computer digital ligation to new Heights. Tote other is Jim Carrey heir apparent to the Long line of superlative physical comics that includes Buster Keaton Jerry Lewis and Steve Martin. If the filmmakers had devised a plot even half As inventive As the visual effects they could have taken credit for crafting a classic. But the film suffers from the same malady that afflicted the Flintstones a the Story is just a Bland and Flimsy vehicle for a nonstop torrent of technological gimmicks. Carrey Riding the popularity of Ace Ventura pet detective Here plays Stanley i kiss a Meek and mild mannered Bank Teller who is one of life a perennial doormats. The most exciting things in his world Are i Semi psychedelic pyjamas and his preterm naturally intelligent terrier Milo. In the course of a single Day Stanley gets yelled at by his Boss ripped off by his Auto repair shop blown off by a cute reporter named Peggy Amy Yas Bec bounced from a trendy nightclub and splashed with mud All Over his one Good suit. _ when the repair shops junk Heap Loaner Dies on a Bridge Stanley ambles forlornly Over to the railing to Muse Over this Litany of misfortunes. Then he spies something floating in the River below a a strange Green mask which he fishes out of the water and takes Home. The savvy Milo is wary of the translucent thing but Stanley touches it to his face. Suddenly he is transformed into gumby a mutant Cousin on amphetamines a Green skinned smooth skilled Tornado with piano keys for Teeth. Metaphorically speaking the mask unleashes the Devil May care wild Man that has resided deep within Stanley a psyche. A major cartoon fan Stanley finds that he has become a live action Toon himself capable of springing All Over the landscape in a Natty chartreuse x Blazer and Broad brimmed hat Wiser cracking All the while. Peeling himself off the pavement after falling from a fourth feb for window he cracks a look mail a roadkill a tie nominal plot has Stanley in both his human and superhuman Personas getting involved in a heist at his Bank which is being plotted by Blond Bombshell Tina Cameron Diaz and her Hood Boyfriend Dorian Peter Greehe. But Tina finds herself conflicted by a growing attraction to the mask who turns out to be a babe Magnet and a dancing fool to Boot. To that end director Charles Russell orchestrates two major song and dance scenes. One is a manic big band production featuring Tina and the mask at dorians nightclub the Coco Bongo and the other has a slew of police officers doing a Conga line As the mask belts out Desi Arnaze sold Rumba numb cuban Pete. The Workmanlike Russell is smart enough to play to his strengths by showcasing the jaw dropping special effects including a riotous scene in which Milo accidentally dons the mask and by letting Carrey run wild with riffs on Clint Eastwood Edward g. Robinson and James Cagney among others. That old Hollywood cliche the Good girl bad girl subplot is also Given a Nice sardonic twist. But All the visual effects in the world can to mask the fact that Mike Webb a pedestrian script based on a Story by Michael Fallon and Mark Verheiden never catches fire. The film is Worth a look a Carreyn a awesome Energy keeps it from Ever getting truly Boring a but even his talents can to earn the mask More than 2vi stars. Sunday August 7,1994
