i can just picture how this movie come to be representso how else can we screw up our career . i know . let take a film that be wildly successful and make a sequel out of it . perfect . we will get b grade actor who have half the charisma and want only 10 % of carrey original salary . we will save million and rake in a massive profit and never mind the fact nobody want to see a second rate sequel with none of the original actor that make it popular in the first place . we a executive still honestly believe a movie be popular base on the name and story and not the actor who make it so in the first place . brilliant . let put a massive budget and get the cheap actor we can find . and really and that what son of the mask can be describe a . just a simple b grade movie that attempt to suck the life out of it original classic . nevertheless and if the movie do not contain the word the mask and or anything to do with the mask and it would be a nice kid movie . for all it massive flaw and horrible acting and this really will appeal to kid . it a good natured flick that really want to scream out like me . but only those 8 and young will truly enjoy it . jamie kennedy be the only worthwhile mention in this movie . he clearly be try to make the material work and play the desperate dad but the script be so poor and the only thing that spew out that be worthwhile be my drink after see this . the character of loki also deserve a mention and a he be the most enjoyable character and really one of the only reason for old adult to see this film . it too bad the character be waste on this film and i would have really like to have see the character take on the true mask . instead and we be reduce to fart joke and toilet humor near the end . the plot be so much by the book and i would not bother to mention it here . it all so clearly obvious that even a disney exec would be green with envy . save your money and this one be head to dvd in three month from the look of it . shame on the studio for once again smear a decent film with a horrible sequel . didn not dumb and dumberer teach them anything .
