Dumb and loud, with questionable material.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Sequels without their original stars are usually sent direct to video. Some deserve better, [but] this isn't one of those.

| Jul 6, 2010

It's your usual low-budget, unbelievably bad sequel.

| Apr 29, 2009

Kennedy is feeble and even Alan Cumming makes less of a meal than he could of his role as the petulant god of mischief.

| Oct 18, 2008

Also struggling vainly against the visual effects are Traylor Howard as Kennedy's wife and Bob Hoskins as Cumming's father, the god Odin.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

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

Full Review | May 21, 2007

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

| Jan 8, 2007

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.

| Jan 8, 2007

A transparently minimal effort in which many jokes and pivotal plot points are grossly inappropriate for children.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | May 26, 2006

Joyless tedium.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 1, 2006

A bright, fast, kiddie-oriented lark.

| Jan 17, 2006

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.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2005

The only place for a movie like Son of the Mask is at the bottom of the bargain bin at your local Wal-Mart.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 5, 2005

There's no story to speak of, just a string of scenarios usually resulting in everything in sight getting smashed.

| Original Score: D- | Apr 13, 2005

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.

| Mar 24, 2005

It'll be hard enough to keep the attention of the children and harder still to keep adults from wishing they could get back the hour and half they just lost.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 7, 2005

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?

| Original Score: 0/4 | Mar 6, 2005

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.

| Mar 3, 2005

Wait till it comes out on video. You'll know when to turn what off.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 27, 2005

Retains absolutely none of its predecessor's manic charm.
