If you ignore the first mask movie...Jim Carrey etc. If you try not to compare the two or what have you as a lot of the people who give this rotten reviews have done, you may just find it a little fun.
It is definitely geared more at kids and my 7 year old loved it. The acting is fine, the effects are great, and I suspect most of the poor reviewers are mostly mad since it is nothing like the first movie save for the mask.
I'm not going to go into some long diatribe, but check the positive reviews and ignore the bad ones an you may just find like me, this movie is way better than it is given credit for being.
Don't expect Brokeback mountain because it is not this kind of film. If you can step away from this, you might enjoy it for what it is.

I'm gonna cheat here and use my comment off one of the boards. If you have read this far in the reviews, you knew a long time ago that this show has found love like a member of the family. Quite simply, it set the bar at a level no other show has reached in my lifetime.
If you came in late, this is worth picking up copies at the local blockbuster and watching from the beginning. I won't type more since there are a thousand reviews here expanding on all that this show is, but culturally, I believe SFU will live on as an icon of art for years to come, maybe changing the way we look at the medium forever.
I was hooked on Six Feet Under almost by accident catching the first episode a minute in (those creepy opening credits got my attention) five years ago.
I never missed an episode since and would wait in great anticipation for the next season.
In between I would watch an occasional CSI for amusement (rarely), the Contender or Survivor, but nothing was as real as the view into the life of the Fishers' lives that Alan Ball gave us.
This will always be irreplaceable and I was bummed the moment I heard this was it before the season started. What a season it was. How powerful that last episode, final sequence and the end was. R.I.P.
I'll sit and wait for Alan Ball's next creation since this guy's works really tend to suck you into it. Never have I made a point to miss none of a show. For five whole years...how do you replace something so grand and special?
I'm not sure you can. So I will think fondly in mourning of the show that grabbed me like SFU and the characters with whom so many of us could relate...Claire, David, Keith, Ruth, Billy, David...like friends and family, gone forever...only to watch in home movies.
