Reviews for Son of the Mask
If nothing else, Son Of The Mask's bad seed baby serves up an all natural commercial for mental birth control.

Whatever possessed director Lawrence Guterman and writer Lance Khazei to transform the sequel to 1994's libidinous hit comedy into pabulum?

Top Critic The movie strives for a positive message about growing up and embracing the joys of fatherhood, but when the baby's this ugly, you're left wishing the filmmakers had practiced a little cinematic celibacy.
01/08/07
A transparently minimal effort in which many jokes and pivotal plot points are grossly inappropriate for children.

No doubt extensive market research shows that there's an audience out there for movies like Son Of The Mask, but it's too depressing to speculate who that might be.
09/26/05
There’s no story to speak of, just a string of scenarios usually resulting in everything in sight getting smashed.
04/13/05
Thanks to its garish production design and uniformly unpalatable cast, Son of the Mask is the ugliest kids' film since The Cat in the Hat.
03/24/05
How far down the Hollywood food chain do you have to go before you get stuck with Jamie Kennedy as the star of your movie? Did Ben Affleck turn down Son of the Mask?
03/06/05
Cumming is well-suited to this kind of material, but Kennedy, while decent as a henpecked husband, is unbelievably awful when he dons the green face-paint.
03/03/05
A parade of creepy animated baby effects or almost equally disturbing CGI dog effects, all of which smack more of manic desperation than even passing inspiration.
02/23/05
While the bright colors and occasional chuckles might amuse the younger set, this film will seem tediously long to the adult audiences who may even be outraged at the way they've blatantly and badly ripped off the Tex Avery style and plots.
02/22/05
In the five years I’ve been co-hosting this show, this is the closest I’ve ever come to walking out halfway through the film, and now that I look back on the experience, I wish I had.
02/22/05
Top Critic Instead of Jim Carrey's clowning being the film's raison d'etre, it is the sub-par mayhem of Jamie Kennedy and a computer-animated dog and baby.
