The Mask 3
Cast: Jim Carrey | Zendaya | Taika Waititi | Awkwafina
Tagline: *The mask laughs last.*
Jim Carrey makes a riotous return as **Stanley Ipkiss**, now a withdrawn but brilliant cartoonist living far from the limelight. His quiet life shatters when his long-lost son accidentally discovers the **cursed, chaos-infused mask**—unleashing a new wave of reality-bending havoc. Enter Zendaya as the son’s older cousin, a quick-witted and determined young woman unwillingly swept into a madcap race against time when the mischievous god **Loki** (Taika Waititi) resurfaces, hell-bent on reclaiming his mischievous creation.
The film is an explosion of **kinetic lunacy**—splashes of paint across the screen, reality folding in on itself, tap-dancing chases, musical interludes, and cartoon physics pushed to their absolute limits. Jim Carrey delivers a **tour de force in elastic, unhinged comedy**, while Zendaya adds heart and grounding to the mayhem. Awkwafina steals scenes as a myth-obsessed professor whose encyclopedic knowledge of trickster gods might be the key to survival.
**Verdict:** *The Mask 3* is wild, unpredictable, and unapologetically alive—a delirious blend of slapstick, fantasy, and absurdity that feels like a Saturday morning cartoon set free in the real world.
**Rating:** 8.3/10
