Synopsis
A decade after the legendary Mask of Loki wreaked havoc on the life of an unsuspecting adult, the magical mask finds its way into the possession of a child in the family comedy Son of the Mask. When cartoonist Tim Avery's (Jamie Kennedy) new son is born with the Mask's spectacular powers - to the dismay of the family's jealous dog - it turns the household upside down and launches a kid versus canine battle for control of the Mask. But unbeknownst to them all, Loki has come looking for his mask and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it back.

Critics' reviews
- "It's astonishing how dull a movie that packs so much visual overstimulation into its frames can be"
- "What the filmmakers missed in assuming the mask from the earlier film is that it was Carrey's astonishing physical comedy that made that film a hit, not the animation."
- "Loud, mean-spirited and generally obnoxious"
- "Too low-key and amiable to match the lubriciousness Jim Carrey brought to the original."
- "No doubt extensive market research shows that there's an audience out there for movies like Son Of The Mask, but it's too depressing to speculate who that might be."
- "A witless and vulgar sequel"
