 Its not supposed to be "The Mask", just give it a try :) May 18, 2009
Lauren M. Brooks (Brentwood, TN United States)
If you are looking for another "The Mask", "Ace Ventura" or otherwise Jim Carrey-y movie it is true that you will most likely be disappointed, however I think that this movie has been somewhat unfairly judged in other reviews here. This is not a Jim Carrey-y movie and its not meant to be. I just finished watching it and I found it very, for lack of a better word, sweet. The movie is about two young people each searching to find their own voice which I think is something we can all relate to, and the friendship that grows between them is lovely to watch and left me with a corny but genuine warm and fuzzy feeling. You won't be quoting this film after watching it or dressing as the characters for Halloween, but if you give this movie a chance I do think you will enjoy it. Thank you :)
 Why is it called Rubberface? April 24, 2009
Anthony F. Morelli (Westland, Michigan)
This movie wasn't horrible. I read the reviews before buying it and decided to get it anyway because it's Jim Carrey.
The main character in this movie is a high school girl named Janet who puts on an act in front of the other girls at school to make them laugh...when really she's dieing inside. For a class assignment, she must write a paper on "Why people ____?". She chose "Why people laugh". I'm telling you this for a reason.
Jim Carrey doesn't appear until about 15 minutes into this 48 minute movie, but stays in it for the remainder. He plays a man named Tony Moroni, who works and performs at a comedy club. Needless to say, his material sucks. Janet goes to the club to do research for her paper when she meets Tony (I told you what I said had a purpose). From there, Janet helps Tony create better material for his bit. The storyline of the movie is how Tony gets Janet to come out of her shell.
It's not a really bad movie, especially for a low budget, independent Canadian film. You still get to see Jim Carrey do his quirky and funny impressions, so that's a plus. Also, the title 'Rubberface' makes no sense. At no point in the movie does anyone talk about making or having a funny looking face. 'Introducing... Janet' makes more sense because of what the story is about and the ending.
Hope you like it!

Great for what it is October 25, 2008
Cinema Dweller (The Christmas Realm)
Yes, the title and cover are very misleading. It's not a Jim Carrey laugh-fest, although I love watching him in this role. If you like "After School Specials" then this is right up your alley. Not really a comedy. More like a drama with a few funny scenes.

L. Bell (Illinois)
I made my boyfriend watch this stupid movie with me and about 10 minutes into it, he said this is an After School Special. I about died. That was more funny than this movie ever gets. I like the girl star in it - she is actually a good actress, I wonder what ever happened to her. Anyhow, don't waste your time!

I wish they had a space for negative stars, this movie sucks so bad it is painful. Not just a little bit painful either.It's like seeing a hero's funeral.I would rather get a punch in the eye than to ever have to watch this movie again.Darn you Jim Carey...Darn you for ever subjecting the world to such horror.After watching this movie, I think it is a miracle from God that anyone ever gave you a second chance to redeem yourself.You should thank God every day that you got a second chance.Oh yeah and the next time you get twenty million bucks for making a movie, please try to buy every copy of this movie in existance....please. Thank You
