...sample was spinning in a high-speed centrifuge. Then, suddenly, the container cracked, and the sample -- tissue contaminated by a rare, potentially lethal virus -- spattered the inside of the centrifuge. Fortunately, the Yale University researcher working with the deadly germs was wearing a lab gown, latex gloves and a mask, as required under federal guidelines. He also knew the proper procedure for dealing with a deadly spill: rub every surface with bleach, sterilize all instruments that have been exposed, then wipe everything down again with alcohol. There was just one rule he failed to follow. Having decided the danger...

A creative premise, Carrey's character finds himself a addicted to the assertive personality he becomes while under the spell of a mysterious wooden mask he finds.

The computer wizards at Industrial Light & Magic help alchemize this ragged film into a megamorphic extravaganza. But Carrey doesn't need any cybernetics or silicon to rubberize his limbs. He is his own best special effect, the first star who is a live-action toon...

Imagine a goyish Jerry Lewis with less ego and more self-esteem and you have Carrey. Crossbreed Lewis' The Nutty Professor with Batman and you have The Mask, with Carrey breathing life into director Charles Russell's tatty fable...
