Son of the Mask

Son of the Mask

Son of a bitch, who the hell greenlit this movie? Well, whoever was responsible for this unnecessary remake to The Mask should be kidnapped and taken to the Island and given to Sawyer. The special effects are an eyesore. I mean, yeah the first movie had a lot of FX shots, but not the boatload this movie has. The FX looks cheap and you have to wonder where that 75 million went, because it wasn’t spent on the talent or the FX. The story seems to have cost 5 cents too.

The story was supposed to be a direct sequel to the first movie, but Jim Carey declined to reprise his role. (Finally Jim turns down a bad role). The storyline was then changed and Jamie Kennedy was brought in to fill in the new role as a cartoonist. I wonder if this movie was a Jamie Kennedy Experiment to see how much we could stand watching. Kennedy raps and acts goofy, but none of it ever amounts to anything. There isn’t any character development or arcs, then again how much can you have when an ugly baby and a stupid CGI dog steal your screen time.

This movie was so bad that even a studio head could have seen the sheer crappy-ness, and he should have stopped production and fired everyone on the crew, starting with the terrible director. If you hate your eyes, ears, and brain, then watch this movie.

Grade F+

Note: This movie project was supposed to released a few years after the first movie, no ever got around to it. Now, I wish they buried it for good.

Okay, the Hulk merchandising has gone too far.

The only way this scene would be funny was if that dog took a bite out of his nose.
