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!!!!!!!!

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.

Il protagonista non è più lo spassoso Jim Carrey ma un anonimo Jamie Kennedy, gli attori recitano in modo scialbo, l'ironia maliziosa ha ceduto il posto ad un senso dell'umorismo molto infantile e la trama non è nulla di particolarmente memorabile. Un sequel decisamente mal riuscito. Un vero peccato.… Expand

A note for anyone make a sequel to a film. Step one: keep the lead actor. Step two: keep the same writer. Step three: keep the same director. Step four: keep the same age rating.

These are the ways to not horrifically mess up a sequel. Every single one of my golden rules were broken and the result was this badly made, unfunny, stupidly acted waste of money. There are two mildly amusing moments involving the baby that stopped this rating being 0, but there is still no point whatsoever is watching this film.

If you liked 'The Mask', don't watch this movie. If you like comedy, don't watch this movie. If you like life, don't watch this movie!… Expand

"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

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