You're absolutely right, stefancrosscoe. Cameron Diaz has never looked better than she did in this film - though I wonder if part of the reason we think that is because she was 'new' back then and this was the movie that 'introduced' her (it was a bit odd/funny reading the credits at the start of the film 'And introducing Cameron Diaz').

I really enjoy this and it's my second favourite Jim Carrey film (Carrey was actually really likeable as Stanley). Milo the dog was an absolute standout. What I especially appreciated was that this film had a slightly 'dark'/'sinister' edge to it. I kind of like movies that are comedies but have a bit of unexpected 'darkness' to them. I also really liked the movie's theme, since it's kind of eerie.

I forgot about that part, the introducing one.
I guess a few people in the business, knew they had a potential star in the making, but I kind of feel she never quite got out of the romantic "silly" blonde babe/bimbo roles, which seemed to "follow" her, for at least most the films I can remember having seen of her.
However, I really enjoyed her in The Mask and the remake of the norwegian black summer comedy, Head Above Water, and of course in There's Something About Mary as well.

The Mask is a really fun, enjoyable and very re-watchable 90s superhero comedy, but as you mentioned, one which surely has a certain "darker" theme in certain places, but I guess the comic it was based upon, went most likely much further, yet I am glad The Mask seems to be one of those Carrey films, which has gotten better recognition over time, and yeah, the soundtrack is a huge reason to why I love the whole atmosphere, it puts the chills down my spine, whenever I hear the first few opening lines, and which are used several time over.
