Washington Post - Unnamed
Carrey's a human cartoon, and his spontaneous, Avery-esque, anything-for-a-laugh outrageousness makes this otherwise blank Mask a must-see.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The result is a movie character who seems half real, half animated.

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
This gifted clown has found the right vehicle for his souped-up silliness. Carrey is the ultimate party dude, and like the masked man says, this party is smokin'.

USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
Carrey's jolly green mug carries Mask. [29 July 1994, p. D1]

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
As a comedy, The Mask is genial, but its recycled plot is far too thin for the film to succeed as either an adventure or a spoof.
