G'day Prezious Christy Marie 73,
Thank you for the question. I enjoyed the Mask. It was one of Jim Carrey's first lead roles. It was adopted from a comic book.
This film was directed by Chuck Russell, produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and New Line Cinema, and originally released to movie theatres by 1994. The film stars Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss (also known as The Mask). A sequel, Son of the Mask, was released in theatres in 2005 but failed to win box office success or critical approval.
The film centers around two men who live in Edge City: One of them is a banker named Stanley Ipkiss, a low-on-his-luck helpless romantic who is often bullied by his flat manager and the son of his bank manager; The other is a gangster named Dorian Tyrell, another low-on-his-luck man who plans to overthrow his boss, Niko, and is planning to rob Edge City Bank (Ironically, Stanley's bank) in order to gain enough money for he and his friends to ascend to the Mafia Top.
Caught in the middle of these two men's lives is a mysterious wooden mask. According to a somewhat half-hearted psychologist, it is a representation of Loki, the Trickster God. This goes toward explaining why, if Stanley puts it on at night, he is transformed into an overenthusiastic figure clad in a yellow suit, with a green face and the ability to make almost anything happen. In one night, "The Mask" changes a balloon-toy into a working Tommy gun with which he scatters some thieves; in another, he convinces the entire police department to dance with him, after they come to arrest him for stealing Dorian's target money. In addition, on seeing a lady (Tina Carlyle, Dorian's paramour) sing on stage, his heart can be seen leaping at her independently of the torso. At this, he leaps up, dances with Tina, and kisses her. Intrigued, she begins to court the Mask.
Dorian is jealous and arranges for the seizure of Stanley and of the Mask itself, and succeeds in doing so with the help of Peggy, Stanley's confidante. He puts the Mask on and is changed into a kind of green-faced Troll (known by fans as Dorian Loki Tyrell), which sets out to overthrow Niko and become a tyrant. Stanley, Tina, and Stanley's dog Milo are all held prisoner. At a ballroom, Tina convinces Dorian to remove the Mask so that he can give her a kiss before killing her for what he perceives as untroth. Milo puts it on instead, becoming somewhat humanoid as a result. He frees the humans and passes the mask to Stanley, who uses it to make Dorian vanish from the "real world". Later, Stanley and Tina, who is now his girlfriend, take the Mask to the ocean and throw it in, intending to live out their lives normally.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

I see here that you've been given two different movies. The Mask was with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, and is a funny, crazy movie.
Mask is a TRUE story about a boy who is badly deformed, and his mother who loves her son dearly, but has an extremely difficult time overcoming her self destructive lifestyle. This kid excelled in things, and was an unbelievable person, and for a long time, overcame all of the Dr.s predictions of what was going to happen to him. It's a really great story, with great acting.
I would highly recommend it. I believe it is definately a movie worth watching, but there are some sad and painful moments in it.
I recommend
The Mask with Jim Carrey, if you are a fan of his!

Rusty Dennis is the mother of Rocky, a seriously deformed but extremely intelligent and emotionally warm child. Rusty is a no-nonsense mother whose wild lifestyle is often at odds with her tenderness and protectiveness towards Rocky. She is determined that Rocky be given the same chances and happiness that everyone else takes for granted.

I thought it was an amazing movie. Eric Stoltz, Cher, Sam Elliott and Laura Dern were fantasic. It is well worth watching!

It sounds like you are talking about the movie starring Cher and Eric Stoltz.
Should you watch it? It certainly ain't an uplifting movie, if that is what you are hoping for.

Cher bona plays the mother. Its pretty good. Her son is really disfigured and its about how his mother and her friends try to help him. I don't know whether its based on a true story though.
