Son of the Mask
Jamie Kennedy and Alan Cumming star in this sequel to the hit 1994 special effects extravaganza
Son of the Mask breaks every law in the sequel statute book. A belated (eleven years!) follow up to the s-s-s-s-smokin' comedy of The Mask, this inferior cash-in ditches stars Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in favour of inferior thesps Jamie Kennedy and Traylor Howard, repeats most of the same gags from the original (some verbatim) and throws in a cute Jack Russell Terrier and a dancing baby in a half-hearted attempt to distract us from its complete dearth of originality. As sequels go, it's about as ill conceived as Dumb and Dumberer and just as lacking in the IQ department.
Some years after the first film, wannabe animator Tim Avery (Kennedy) ...
Son of the Mask
Kevin CrustThe 1994 comedy hit The Mask, by no means a great film but certainly an entertaining one, possessed eye-popping visuals with a neon fruit salad palette and was one of the first features to exploit Jim Carrey's unique talents to full effect. One of the keys to director Chuck Russell's transformation of milquetoast bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss "from zero to hero," as the tagline went, was placing the wizardly special effects in service of Carrey's substantial physical gifts. The Industrial Light & Magic gadgetry became an extension of the rubber-faced actor, exaggerating and mimicking his expressions rather than overwhelming them.
Disadvantaged at the outset by not having Jim Carrey, the film's wildly expensive sequel, Son of the Mask, digs itself an impossibly d...
Son of the Mask
Mike ClarkFlatulence jokes, geyser-like gushes of urine, big-time upchucking, guys getting smashed in the chimes: Movies are better than ever - if you're 4 and were held back in preschool.
But if you're 4 and seeing the PG-rated Son of the Mask, why isn't the Internet publishing mug shots of your parents?
Icky and incompetent (special effects aside) in equal parts, this groaner makes 1994's The Mask look like something you'd study in a film graduate course at NYU. Not returning (surprise, surprise) are the original's Jim Carrey and then-newcomer Cameron Diaz.
This sequel is quite a comedown. The third-tier Jamie Kennedy stars as an emotionally undeveloped animator who isn't ready for children (I'll say) and a wife named Tonya played by Monk's Tray...
