The Take
Son of the Mask is not worth watching. It is a cynical cash grab that buries whatever fun the original had under bad CGI and desperate baby comedy.
Jamie Kennedy mugs through every scene like the script owes him money. The result feels like a straight-to-video product that somehow escaped into theaters.
The Verdict
Son of the Mask exists only to squeeze a few more dollars out of a beloved property. It replaces sharp comic timing with diaper gags and leaves the audience wondering why anyone bothered.
Skip it. Watch the 1994 original instead.
