# The Mask - Parental Guide
Jim Carrey stars as a shy banker transformed by a magical mask into an outrageous, uninhibited character. While the comedy is slapstick and silly, the film contains strong sexual content and suggestive scenes that make it inappropriate for younger children, despite its PG-13 rating. Best suited for teens 14+.
