Embarrassing. Painful. Vulgar.
Odin: There was a baby, born of The Mask!
Loki (Cumming), the trickster god born of Odin (Hoskins), Norse mythology’s All-father, created a mask designed to unleash havoc and sent it down to the humans. Somehow this mask ends up in the hands of Tim Avery (Kennedy), a struggling cartoonist. One night, after wearing the mask for the first time, Tim gets his wife, Tonya (Howard), pregnant, and the result is a baby boy, Alvie, with all the powers of the mask without having to wear it. Watching this movie made me appreciate Jim Carrey in a way I never had before. I’ve always been a fan but seeing him in The Mask after seeing this made me realize how good of a performance that was in addition to being funny. Son of the Mask is a miserable experience. There is not a worthwhile idea in the movie. The story and tone are crass and unpleasant; much too vulgar to be a kids’ film. Kennedy’s performance is embarrassing. His character is an idiot. His voice-acting while wearing the mask is annoying. None of the jokes are funny. I’d like to nominate the musical “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” sequence for the worst movie scene of all-time. There’s nothing anybody can do with this film but pile on. There are dozens of angry, hilarious rants about how unfunny this movie is and all I can do is agree.

This movie is one I’ll never forget. Truly one of the worst I’ve ever seen. How Cumming can be a cult figure when he makes films like this or Flintstones; Viva Rock Vegas is hard to understand. He’s a great actor, but man, can he pick them.

He seems to be one of those great actors who don’t care at all about the quality of their movies. He was also in Spice World and the two Smurfs movies. Maybe he cares more about T.V or Theater. I just look through his filmography and think, why are you in half of these movies?

Not many have Garfield and Kubrick on their resume.

Oh God. Was he in Garfield? I don’t remember him. I remember him in Eyes Wide Shut though. That is an impressive combo

He’s amazing in Eyes Wide Shut, but yes, he does VO work in Garfield. No job too small. No indignity too great.
