Plots(1)
Boring bank account officer Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) is tired of kowtowing to his know-nothing boss and being rejected by attractive women. But just before he decides to end it all, Stanley is transformed from a spineless accountant into a jiving zoot-suited hellion when he discovers the superhuman powers of an ancient wooden mask he finds floating in the river. With the mask, Stanley has the courage to do everything he's ever dreamed of. That includes wooing blond bombshell Tina Carlyle (Cameron Diaz), a torchy singer at the swanky nightclub Coco Bongo. Too bad Tina's caught up with mobster Dorian Tyrel, a brutal villain planning to rob Stanley's bank and take over the city! Now it's up to Stanley to rid the besieged metropolis of Tyrel.

I personally see this as a legendary comedy that introduced me to Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz. And while Jim was there for me my entire childhood and provided me with amusement on several occasions, Cameron continues to be a part of my life along with her beauty. Also, this is the only movie I’ve rented every time I didn’t know what else to rent… that is until I bought the VHS myself and I still have it at home today. :-)

The best film by Jim Carrey and one of the best comedies I know (which I would possibly still include in the top twenty films of my life when I was fifteen), moreover with the unbeatable and cult dubbing by Bohdan Tůma. The first appearance of Cameron Diaz when entering the bank always fascinated me during my puberty... and actually still does. 100% accurate for the type of film that you loved when you were younger and never grow tired of.
