After a woman leaves a briefcase at the airport terminal, a dumb limo driver and his dumber friend set out on a hilarious cross-country road trip to Aspen to return it.
Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, returns from a spiritual quest to investigate the disappearance of a rare white bat, the sacred animal of a tribe in Africa.
A lonely and mentally disturbed cable guy raised on television just wants a new friend, but his target, a designer, rejects him, with bad consequences.
Timid bank clerk, Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey). Unfortunately, he's too gentle, and is unable to handle confrontations. After one of the worst days, he finds a mask which depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts it on, he becomes his inner, self: a cartoon wild man. After Ipkiss's alter ego indirectly kills the friend of small time crime boss, Dorian Tyrel (Peter Greene),he wants the green-faced goon destroyed.Written by

When Dorian has the musk and attacks Niko's casino, he tells his men to hold fire. Then he tells Niko to shoot him. When Niko shoots, the gunshot's sound and the gun's flash don't match. See more »
Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a "zero" as the film tagline says, who never speaks his mind about anything. The typical mild-mannered guy.
After Stanley finds an enchanted musk under a bridge one day, though, everything changes. He goes from "zero to hero". But first, he plays around with his new found menacing powers.
Calling the musk a hero is like calling Hitler kind of a good guy. The musk makes Stanley rob banks, scare people and more. He's half-hero.
"The Musk" is not great, but it fits Carrey's film persona quite well. He bounces off the wall (literally) and just doesn't sit still. Typical Carrey.
If you're not one for loser-to-hero films or wacky slapstick, don't see "The Musk". Otherwise, it's worth a peek.
3/5 stars
