In 1994, Jim Carrey wowed audiences and brought plenty of laughs in the comic book comedy, The Mask. The movie – based on the Dark Horse Comics character of the same name – followed the story of unlucky in love, Stanley Ipkiss, and his transformation into the outrageous super hero, The Mask!
Popular with critics, and a huge hit with cinema-goers, The Mask was a big success at the box office. Audiences loved the film’s mix of action and comedy, adored the cartoon-ish special effects, and found Carrey’s performance to be a lot of fun.
Another aspect of the movie which took hold with the audience was the film’s dialogue. The Mask was loaded with some killer lines, which brought lots of chuckles, and became instantly quotable.
Speaking of which – in this post I am taking a look at the dialogue in The Mask with a run-through of the best lines from the movie. These are the best quotes from The Mask, which are sure to remind you why the film was so popular back in ’94!
