The characters are not fun to watch, and what's worse, they're not funny. Silly is not always a bad thing, but in this movie, the silliness gets to the point of just plain annoying.
The son of the mask full movie movie#
The premise of the movie becomes increasingly silly. However, this reverence cannot save the film and makes it less respectful and more of a waste of time. Coyote type contraptions and the infamous dancing frog type plot. Meanwhile, Loki, played by Alan Cumming, is in search for his mask at the orders of his father, Odin.įirst off, ill admit that I do respect the fact that this film pays so much homage to the classic cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Loony Toons, with its Wile E. Otis the dog, jealous of the baby's attention, puts on the mask and partakes in Tom and Jerry type mayhem to out the baby. Nine months later mayhem ensues as the baby born of the mask has remarkable cartoonish powers. After the party Tim goes home, mask still on and conceives a child with his wife.
On the night of the company Halloween party, Tim puts on the mask and transforms into the mischievous, insane character that we all expect. Tim, played by Jamie Kennedy, is a struggling animator who is stuck working as a turtle tour guide for the animation company he aspires to one-day draw for.
The Son of the Mask begins with Otis the dog finding the infamous mask and bringing it back to his owner Tim Avery, a clear homage to legendary Loony Toons creator Tex Avery. Why? Cuz I gotta! Now, eleven years later, it seems to me that the same philosophy has been applied to the new movie "Son of the Mask." Someone asked director Lawrence Guterman why are you making this? And he responds "Cuz I gotta!" Unfortunately, that answer doesn't cover it because after seeing Son of the Mask I still left the theatre thinking, "Good Lord, Why?" Guterman and the rest of the people involved in the blasphemous film need to realize that the response given to why are you making this film should not be as simple as the answer to the debate on whether or not to party. The Mask helped bring Jim Carrey to the forefront of comedy and reached a very popular status for its originality and just pure fun. How could a plot including repeated attempts on a babies life not be considered funny? Shocking!Ĭhildren being stolen by norse gods isn't even remotely shocking to some parentsĮleven years ago, Stanley Ipkiss released his true inner self and became the hero of Edge City by finding and wearing the Norse god of mischief, Loki's mask. In movies reducing women down to their bras is funny and comedic, I do it and I get arrested!? I'm not one to jump aboard bandwagons and hate things because its "Trendy" to, nor do I give 1/10's out often but this is awful! Seriously, everything people say about this film is true.
And for 84 million dollars it looks like warmed up dog poop. The cartoon violence doesn't translate very well at all and some of it seems distasteful especially for a family film. It's just SO cringe inducing! The jokes are too immature even for Saturday morning cartoons. Starring Jamie Kennedy, Traylor Howard, Alan Cumming and a small role for Kal Penn it tells another story of the infamous Mask and it is beyond belief.įull of dire cgi, painfully unfunny "comedy", purile writing and legitimately no redeeming features I can't believe that such a brilliant classic comedy like The Mask (1994) could be insulted to this degree with a sequel.
Ontop of that it's the winner of such prestigious awards as Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actor, Most Intrusive Musical Score, Foulest Family Film, Most Painfully Unfunny Comedy and Least "Special" Special Effects. It currently sits as the 10th worst movie ever made on IMDB which is an impressive feat. Son of the Mask is one of those sequels that simply shouldn't have happened and now after watching I can claim it's a contender for the worst one of the bunch.īut no wait there is more, this isn't just bad it's THAT bad.
