Upon returning to his apartment and donning the mask, he becomes a mischievous green-faced figure known as "The Mask", who can cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will. His stream of thought is interrupted, however, when he finds a strange wooden mask near the harbor. Unable to enter the Coco Bongo to watch Tina perform and after his faulty loaner car breaks down while driving home, Stanley despairingly looks over the harbor bridge, lost in thought of what to do. Stanley is attracted to Tina and she seemingly reciprocates. One day, Tyrell sends his dazzling singer girlfriend, Tina Carlyle, into the bank to record its layout for an upcoming robbery. Meanwhile, gangster Dorian Tyrell, who owns the Coco Bongo nightclub, plots to overthrow his superior, Niko. In Edge City, insecure cartoon-loving bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss is frequently ridiculed by everyone except for his co-worker and best friend, Charlie Schumaker. A standalone sequel, Son of the Mask, was released in 2005 to a critical and box office failure. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role, and the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects but lost to Forrest Gump. It cemented Carrey's reputation as a significant actor of the 1990s, and it established Diaz as a leading lady. The film also influenced the resurgence of swing music in the 1990s. The film grossed over $351 million on a $18–23 million budget, which made it the second most profitable film based on a comic up to that point, behind Superman (1978). The film was released on July 29, 1994, by New Line Cinema, becoming a critical and commercial success. He starts using these powers to fight crime, only to become targeted by Dorian Tyrell, a gangster who desires to overthrow his superior.
Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a hapless, everyday bank clerk who finds a magical mask that transforms him into The Mask, a green-faced troublemaker with the ability to cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will.
