A cartoonist and family man, Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) lives a peaceful existence with his wife, Tonya (Traylor Howard), as well as their infant son and dog. When the curious canine finds a mask with mystical properties, both dog and baby create chaos with its powers. While Tim and Tonya try to contain the damage, the sly Norse god Loki (Alan Cumming) comes looking for the artifact, resulting in more mishaps that ultimately incur the wrath of the deity's powerful father, Odin (Bob Hoskins).

Critics Consensus

Overly frantic, painfully unfunny, and sorely missing the presence of Jim Carrey.

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

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

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

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

This has absolutely nothing in common with the first film, aside from the concept of a mask that can transform people. Absolute garbage, put it directly in the bin 🗑️

Son of the Mask, the much-anticipated second installment in the Mask franchise, unfortunately falls flat and fails to capture the magic of the original. Instead of building on the quirky charm and humor we loved in the first film, this sequel takes a baffling turn into Greek mythology, with the God Loki sent by Zeus to retrieve the mask he supposedly created. This shift from the original’s playful tone to a supernatural god-and-goddess storyline feels forced and downright silly. Jamie Kennedy as the new mask wearer was a huge disappointment. His portrayal lacked the energy and comedic brilliance Jim Carrey brought to the role. The CGI effects on his face looked plastic and lifeless, stripping away any genuine expression or humor. Even his hair looked fake, unlike Jim Carrey’s wild and dynamic look that made the mask so iconic. And then there’s the bizarre storyline of a baby born with the mask’s powers — a concept so strange and off-putting that it felt more like a joke than a clever plot device. Overall, Son of the Mask is a complete misfire. It not only fails to honor the original film’s spirit but actively diminishes the franchise’s potential. For fans of the first Mask, this sequel is a disappointing and regrettable detour that I would definitely advise skipping.

Filme mais ou menos, mais para menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas e meio que são cenas para crianças, o elenco é mais ou menos, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, os personagens sao fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, o filme tem partes interessantes, mas tem cenas que pioram o filme.
