If The Mask hit the spot, these will too

A magical hook that frees an ordinary man to become someone better
The difference: The comedy is dry and humane — no rubber-faced mayhem

Movie-world fantasy spilling into a drab, ordinary life
The difference: Wistful and quietly sad underneath — a Depression-era sigh, not a whoop

Cartoon physics crashing into a noir-ish crime world, gag after gag
The difference: Its heart belongs to detective noir — less romance, more mystery

Witty where it counts, playful underneath
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both land dream logic and romance at once
The difference: Easier on the grit than The Mask

Both lean on wit more than on comedy
The difference: Takes it somewhere less gritty than The Mask does

Romance with real magic in it, kept light on its feet
The difference: Cozy sisterhood charm, not slapstick — and the spells carry a cost

One impossible gift hands a nobody the keys to everything
The difference: A talky concept comedy that turns earnest and a bit preachy

Both are built on the same subject: dog
The difference: Leans harder into drama than The Mask does


Dreamlike romance, and it commits to that
The difference: 24 years apart, and the 2010s show

Crime with a pulse of grit, in both cases
