Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

The characters twirl around like mini tornadoes, but between random brash moments of technological eye-tickling, Son of the Mask sags more than it spins. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

A harried, screechy film that goes nowhere at a breakneck pace, full of sound and furious slapstick overkill but devoid of wit. Read full review

Jack Mathews

What the filmmakers missed in assuming the mask from the earlier film is that it was Carrey's astonishing physical comedy that made that film a hit, not the animation. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

A comedy so unfunny, it's tragic. Read full review

Steven Rea

Little kidniks with an appetite for zap-pow silliness might find this to their liking. Everyone else, beware. Read full review

Kevin Crust

It's astonishing how dull a movie that packs so much visual overstimulation into its frames can be. Read full review

Scott Tobias

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. Read full review

The best movie ever made!!!!!!!! The bit where Jim carrey pushes Garfield into the sea is so good and probably the greatest movie moment of all time . I quote many lines of dialogue from it daily such as “ I hate Monday’s but I love lasagna” and “oh boy my bones are about to hatch!!” .The best movie ever made!!!!!!!!

However easily the best part is the lightsaber fight with shrek on top of the Eiffel Tower… Expand

Son of the Mask can stand out on its own, but it is pretty mean spirited. In the movie, it is hard to understand who is the real main character. Most of them act villainous at one time or another. The visuals are great and the story is okay, but not great.

I love how there are either 10s or 1's as people's score. You don't see any 5s or 6s... which means you either love or hate it. i hate it. Maybe would have been ok if i was 15 years younger.

This is a bad movie. When it tries tp be funny ot just gets really creepy. This is one of the worst films ever made.And this film is much more family-friendly oriented and the tone is much lighter and comical. Infact Ben Stien's personality of his character explains how I was during the movie.

"Son of the Mask" mostly looks like an horror movie due to the absence of Jim Carrey, cartoonish CGI, unfunny jokes, wooden performances and disgusting slapstick.

Films are getting more and more awful by the second and this film is no exception. Its one of those films that is shot nealry entirly with a fish bowl lens and extreme closeups. The effects were awful, the acting was horrific, and the cinemography story and everything else was so horid. How Films are getting more and more awful by the second and this film is no exception.

This film falls under the category of AVOID AT ALL COSTS!… Expand

I watched this movie hoping that there would be some sign of JIm Carry, but sadly no.The special effects sucked, and what was up with Jamie Kennedy's face when he put it on. Worst movie I have ever seen
