Editorial Review: An early short film from comic millionaire Jim Carrey, in which he plays a failing stand-up comic. Rubberface Reviews: Its not supposed to be "The Mask", just give it a try :)  2009-05-18 - 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?  2009-04-24 - 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  2008-10-25 - 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.
Painful  2008-01-01 - 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!
Holy Crap!  2003-09-18 - 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
