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.
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.
Top CriticInstead 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.
an awful, unoriginal, infuriating, and endless mess
When anything’s possible, nothing matters.
Definitely not for adults, some younger kids may appreciate the wild humor.
...messy and meandering. Clearly, this banal computer-generated clunker has all the witty bounce of a disabled kangaroo. Mask needs to hide its hideous face
You know how awful this movie looks in the previews? Well, that's exactly how bad the movie actually is.
If you are the son of Frankenstein, Flubber, Dracula, Lassie, Ali Baba, Sinbad, Billy the Kid, Davy Crockett, Robin Hood, Tarzan or Satan, you have to accept that the movie about you is likely not as good or memorable as the one about your dad.
Top CriticKids aren’t going to get the sexual innuendo, and not many adults will enjoy the blast of urine and splatters of snot and vomit.
Has it not occurred to Hollywood that no one wants to see Jim Carrey-less sequels? Isn’t that kind of obvious, or have they completely underestimated the comedian’s appeal?
It might be early, but this will definitely take the award for worst film of 2005.
It took little effort to push Son of the Mask from memory. Sadly, my duties as a critic have forced me to recall it, and the flashbacks aren’t pretty.
It's doggie vs. baby vs. daddy vs. deity in a sequel so cartoonish it makes Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) look like a dry documentary.
Alvey is endowed with awesome powers to shape-shift and abuse every living creature that comes within reach of his chubby little hands.
A film top-heavy with joyless Tex Avery-style special effects and a dancing-baby bit embarrassingly reminiscent of TV's Ally McBeal.
Top CriticGuterman is settling into a niche that blends live action with computer-animated effects, but all those high-tech hijinks are wasted with a sub-par plot line and idiotic action.
With so many cuts a second, all attention goes into following the visuals. Just as well, since the story leaves so little to work with.
Ten years ago it was cool to be s-s-s-mokin'. This is the punishment for enjoying that.
Forget about such fripperies as story and character, and your inner 7-year-old can have a pretty good time with the film's Tex Avery-style mayhem ... and Chuck Jones-inspired sight gags.
