Before there was Deadpool or The Boys, there was The Mask — a chaotic, hilarious, and slightly unhinged superhero comedy that defined the '90s. Released in 1994, this box office hit turned Jim Carrey into a global phenomenon and introduced a generation to zoot suits, green faces, and catchphrases like “Ssssssmokin’!”
But in 2025, many Gen Z movie fans have never even heard of it. Here's why The Mask deserves a serious comeback on your streaming queue.
The movie follows Stanley Ipkiss, a shy, unlucky-in-love banker who finds a mysterious wooden mask that transforms him into an ultra-confident, reality-bending cartoon of himself. Think Looney Tunes meets Marvel — with jazz hands.
It’s loud. It’s bizarre. It breaks the fourth wall. And it’s pure Jim Carrey in his most unleashed form.
At a time when CGI was still experimental, The Mask delivered groundbreaking visual effects that pushed the envelope. Carrey’s facial expressions were exaggerated with early animation tech — laying the groundwork for the kind of digital comedy we now see in TikTok filters and meme culture.
Gen Z loves chaotic energy and internet humor — and The Mask basically invented both before they were trends.
If you love meme-worthy moments, absurdist humor, and movies that don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s for you. The Mask is chaotic Gen Z energy before Gen Z even existed. It's got style, sass, and surrealism wrapped in a 90-minute fever dream of comedy and jazz.
The Mask is currently available on platforms like HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and iTunes for rental or streaming. Just make sure to avoid the 2005 sequel (Son of the Mask) — trust us on that one.
If you’ve ever worn a mask (literally or metaphorically), this movie will hit different. It’s wild, quotable, unpredictable — and unapologetically weird in the best way possible. In a world of gritty reboots and brooding anti-heroes, The Mask is a reminder that movies can still be weird, wacky fun.
So go ahead: stream it, quote it, meme it — and let your inner green-faced mischief-maker out.
