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

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.

While the movie does have a few redeeming points, I do find the movie just tries too much and too hard. Ultimately ruining itself. The potential is there, and the premise is an OK one that fits the narrative. But the execution is just horrific. How the actors could walk onto the set each dayWhile the movie does have a few redeeming points, I do find the movie just tries too much and too hard. Ultimately ruining itself. The potential is there, and the premise is an OK one that fits the narrative. But the execution is just horrific. How the actors could walk onto the set each day and not feel ashamed, is beyond me. I'm assuming the entire production staff were a LSD test group, making a movie on the side.

Overall:
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought the movie was written directed and produced by a 5 year old. A pointless waste of a movie.… Expand

I watched 30 minutes of this movie and I went to sleep, I would recommend it if you're having problems getting to sleep on the night.

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.

To make a sequel to the Mask, you must include Jim Carrey. Or else, it just wont be the sequel to the Mask.. Pitiful.
