All son of the mask games

Otis the dog, jealous of the baby's attention, puts on the mask and partakes in Tom and Jerry type mayhem to out the baby. Meanwhile, Loki, played by Alan Cumming, is in search for his mask at the orders of his father, Odin. First off, ill admit that I do respect the fact that this film pays so much homage to the classic cartoons such as Tom and Jerry and Loony Toons, with its Wile E. Coyote type contraptions and the infamous dancing frog type plot. However, this reverence cannot save the film and makes it less respectful and more of a waste of time.

The premise of the movie becomes increasingly silly. Silly is not always a bad thing, but in this movie, the silliness gets to the point of just plain annoying. The characters are not fun to watch, and what's worse, they're not funny. The dullness of the characters can also be attributed to the fact that so much CGI was used.

One of the greatest things about the original is that while, obviously computer animation was used, so much relied on Jim Carrey and his exuberant style of just being. Jim Carrey, we were convinced, was an actual cartoon. Jamie Kennedy just doesn't have that kind of ability, a fact that is clear when you watch him wear the mask and his facial features rarely shift. The baby and dog were mostly completely animated which became increasingly distracting throughout the movie.

The side story of Loki searching for the mask just became more and more stupefying. The son of the Mask is a sad sad state of affairs. What I suggest is you go rent or buy the original the Mask and thank the Norse gods, or whoever, for bringing it to us.

And will consider seeing the sequel my sacrifice as I continue to ask the infamous question "WHY? FAQ 5. Was Loki the son of Odin? Is this a sequel to Jim Carrey's "The Mask"?

What is the Japanese language plot outline for Son of the Mask ?

In order to get some peace and quiet, Tim lets Alvey watch some cartoons. Alvey, whose intelligence has been amplified by the mask, devilishly obtains the idea to mess with his father's head by using his mask powers.

Meanwhile, Otis, who has been feeling neglected by Tim because of Alvey, dons the mask by accident and becomes a crazed animal version of himself, who tries to get rid of Alvey, but all his attempts are overturned by the much craftier infant. Tim starts to notice his son and dog's wild cartoonish behavior, when Alvey starts harassing him. Eventually, Loki, after searching from home to home for the baby and leaving a trail of mayhem in his wake, finds Alvey and confronts Tim for the mask back, and is thwarted again by Alvey who uses his powers to ward him off.

Eventually, Odin, possessing Tim's body, becomes fed up with Loki's destructive approach for defying him once again oblivious to the fact that he has Alvey in his arms and strips his son of his powers. A seemingly deranged Tim is eventually fired after failing to impress Moss during a pitch, but he is able to reconcile and bond with Alvey. Later that night, Loki, still determined to please his father, sneaks into the Avery household and manages to summon and convince Odin to give him another chance to prove himself.

Odin obliges, but warns his son that he only has one hour to retrieve the mask or else he is banished and permanently loses his powers. Loki then kidnaps Alvey in exchange for the mask, just as Tonya finally returns from her trip. After Tim explains everything, the two find Otis, still wearing the mask and upset with Tim for ignoring him.

Tim is able to win him over by apologizing for not paying enough attention, and promises that he and Alvey can get along with each other.

Moved, Otis agrees, allowing Tim to remove the mask from the dog. The family finds Loki and give him the mask, but Loki, having bonded with Alvey over their powers, goes back on his deal.

Tim gets the mask back and dons it once again, engaging in a high-speed pursuit, and eventually confronting him in a stadium, where Tim and Loki go hand-to-hand.

However, both Tim and Loki are evenly matched due to possessing equal powers, prompting Loki to halt the fight, and suggests that they let Alvey decide who he wants to go with. Although Loki tries to lure Alvey to him with toys and promises of fun, Tim wins by removing the mask and asks Alvey to come back to him using the human connection he has forged with his son, convincing Alvey to choose his parents.

Saddened and furious, Loki tries to destroy the family, but his one-hour time limit expires as Odin finally shows up in person. Having lost his patience and deeming Loki a failure, he prepares to banish him, but Tim confronts the powerful Norse god and tells him that regardless of their problems, they are still father and son.

Sign In. Son of the Mask Hide Spoilers. MartinHafer 31 January This is one of those Hollywood projects that makes you wonder why they even made the film in the first place. After all, to anyone hearing the plot, they'd know that the film was destined to bomb--yet some lunkheads approved the picture.

And, while they saved a huge amount of money by not getting Jim Carey for this sequel, it's obvious that the budget was NOT small when you look at the amazing sets and see the excellent special effects. Yet, oddly, despite all this money being spent, the fundamental story idea was so stupid and the writing so amateurish that it couldn't help but bomb This is a bad film--there is no doubt about this. Only the very worst of the worst deserve to be on the list--yet I notice such horrendous films as those of Ed Wood, Arch Hall, Al Adamson or William Grefe are not on the list!

I guess it's because not as many people have seen these films and many DID see "Son of the Mask" due to its huge publicity campaign and massive DVD saturation. In addition, you can't help but admire the special effects as well as the sets. In particular, I loved the sets--which were very surreal and cartoon-like.

I can't see giving such a beautiful looking film a it deserves at least another point or two for effects and sets. As for the story, it's just plain stupid and wastes the talents of Alan Cumming and Bob Hoskins. Plus, odd for a comedy, the film hasn't got a single laugh--not even one.

In fact, some of the 'jokes' are downright repellent--such as the baby peeing copiously on the father as well as the snot joke--which both managed to be unfunny AND gross. While I could go on to discuss the plot, I won't It's dumb and not worth your trouble. An incredibly limp, unfunny and stupid film Even smaller children will find all this very tedious and boring.

Only for bad movie fans who want to marvel at the film's awfulness. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

TheLittleSongbird 7 December The original film with Jim Carrey was a clever and hilarious film, with a very sophisticated and dynamic visual style. What a way to ruin such a fantastic film, with such a poor sequel? It does make me sad. I will give some credit, it isn't quite the worst movie I have ever seen, Disaster Movie, Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2 and Home Alone 4 were worse, but judging by how really poor the film is, that is not saying much. And the direction from Laurence Guterman, who also directed Cats and Dogs, which is much more decent, was close to incompetent.

The story about the magical mask falling into the hands of a cartoonist who fathers a son is rather substandard and takes a while to get going.

The special effects and animation attempts to spark some imagination, but it completely lacks the visual style that made the original so endearing to look at. Intead the whole film looks cheap in comparison and looks like it was made for TV, despite the valiant attempts of the animators to make it look good.

The casting is uninspired to say the least. Jamie Kennedy as the cartoonist lacks charisma, and I will say I found the baby really creepy. Alan Cumming is a very talented actor, and has been in some great films namely the wonderful version of Black Beauty where his voice over of the beloved horse was note perfect.

Here he can't do anything with his villainous role, which is so badly underwritten it's not hard to see why. And how Bob Hoskins got dragged into this I shall never know.

All in all, I can see why people say this movie is bad, it is. Not just because it is not a true sequel but also it is substandard in comparison to its much superior predecessor in terms of sophistication and quality.

Not quite the worst movie I have ever seen, but it is bad! SnoopyStyle 10 September The real mask is washed away to far off Fringe City.

Odin commands his son Loki to find the mask or else. Otis the dog retrieves the mask for the Avery family. He decides to wear the mask for the company Halloween party. It's a crazy time and he impresses his boss. He also consummates with the mask on and the resulting baby Alvey seems to have special powers. This is a truly disappointing sequel. While the original is fun, this one is ugly and tiresome.

Jamie Kennedy has a dash of annoying in his DNA. He has no charm. He compensates with brash annoying wacky comedy. Personally I don't find him funny at all which fits this movie perfectly.

The animation looks ugly. The general look is bad kids TV. It's a Road Runner cartoon without the fun. The fact that the original is so great only makes this an even bigger failure.

Basically, ten years after previous events, the Mask has floated down river from the sea of Edge City, and found its way in the hands of aspiring cartoon animator Tim Avery Razzie nominated Jamie Kennedy.

Tim finds out the special powers of the Mask, and goes for a wild Halloween night out with his company, and next morning, Tim's wife Tonya Traylor Howard , desperate for a baby, finds out she is pregnant.

When Tim's baby Alvey twins Liam and Ryan Falconer is born, he slowly realises that he didn't technically father his child, he did it while wearing the Mask, which explains the baby's extraordinary powers.

Dog Otis feels unloved by his owners, and when he puts the Mask on he really gets to express how much he wants the baby out the way, but Alvey is getting the better of him. When Loki eventually finds Tim and the Mask, through Alvey, he makes a deal to give the baby back when he meets him at a certain place, and he becomes attached.

In the end, Tim, with the Mask on again, and Loki ask Alvey choose who he really wants to be with, and it is when Tim takes the Mask off that the baby makes the right decision, and Loki and father Odin make up. The special effects I suppose are alright, but the casting is atrocious, the story played out is ridiculous, and it has nowhere near the same inventiveness and humour as the original.

It is filled with just too many gross and over-the-top wild moments, and it just looks and feels really cheap, an absolutely awful fantasy comedy sequel. This a special effects-driven comedy based on Dark Horse comic books series. But appear in his life a newborn baby with Mask's sensational powers. Meanwhile in Valhalla, the mythological Odin Bob Hoskins is infuriate at his son Loki Alan Cumming for losing the magical mask and orders look it for and he's willing to get whatever cost.

Then, the powerful baby with godlike faculties confronting Loki in an extraordinary taking on. This is a rip-roaring sequel from Jim Carrey's successful film. It packs exaggerated humor, frenetic action, excessive jokes, noisy comedy with some nice moments here and there. Pitched at hectic pace, lots of cartoonist special effects,Tex Avery-alike, and with ominous angle camera to create genuine area of apprehension.

The film is studded with funny scenes but also some embarrassing. The movie is a vehicle for Jamie Kennedy,the baby and the dog , their rubber faces are an incredible asset magnified by the breathtaking FX, courtesy of Industrial light Magic. The film is regularly directed by Laurence Guterman Cat and dogs , providing a megablast of mayhem with the occasional original touch, even if its whole central set-up fails to convince. Rating : Average though with some entertaining moment.

Well, it was "free", and I've seen a few worse. TxMike 18 September This is roughly a sequel to the excellent movie with Jim Carrey. Here Loki's dad, a mythical god, is angry because Loki lost his mask.

Loki Alan Cumming is sent to find it. We open with a scene in a museum where droll docent Dr. Neuman Ben Stein is explaining to everyone how Loki's mask can give the wearer power, when Loki himself shows up.

But it turns out this mask is just a good Asian-made replica, so Loki's hunt is on. The central family here is the Avery family, aspiring cartoonist Tim Jamie Kennedy and his wife Tonya cute Traylor Howard, looking much younger than her 38 years who desperately wants to start a family, but Tim isn't ready yet.

One night Tim has to find something to wear to a work-related costume party, so quickly grabs the old mask that the family dog had brought home from a nearby creek. When he put the mask on, he became a different person, was the life of the party, and when he got home to his wife apparently made unbridled, passionate love. Because she immediately became pregnant. Nine months later baby Alvey played by twins was born. But as a son of Loki, sort of, he was not your ordinary baby, able at an early age to say words and do strange things with his body parts.

Somehow Loki figures out his "mask baby" was born on a certain date, gets the list of newborns, and one by one tries to find his. Much of the movie contains so much silliness that it is worthless to describe, much of it when mom was out of town on business for a week.

Suffice to say, in the end baby Alvey helps mom and dad get the upper hand on Loki, and Tim becomes the very successful author and illustrator of a popular animated TV show, about the antics of a family's dog and baby modeled after his own. Sometimes you can watch a movie as it comes. Then you can be totally open to whether it works, whether you like it. So you watch it with yearning, anticipating that the last piece is going to fall into place in just a moment and completely reinterpret all you've seen so far.

The good part keeps getting pushed further and further into the future until the thing ends with a disassembled motor and you with a broken heart. I wanted to like this movie because it has my favorite framing: a cartoonist is looking for an idea.

What he draws and what he lives merge. This is an elegant folding most successfully done with "The Muppet Movie," and can be miraculous in how you move the fold into your "ordinary" life.

So I watched "Monkeybones" with the same hope and was jilted, just as I was here. The problem is, I think, too many script bosses from the studio. Some wanted the "I'm a bad daddy but you taught me better" movie; some wanted the bad guy versus the good after the style of the very pure "Spy Kids," in which Alan Cumming was great. Some wanted the simple collection of slapstick that made the first one a hit.

And then there were the dog and baby humor lovers. Each one of these factions contributed about a fifth of a workable movie. No matter, usually I can artificially recreate a good one from just one thread if that thread has any strength. Not here, friends. Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life. LeonLouisRicci 12 May It Worked then and it Works now. Any movie that rips Ben Stein's face off is doing something right.

Note Don't forget to pick up that Tex Avery Box Set! For the record this is the story of the mask which was created by Loki, who after many centuries tries to find it again, only to have it fall into the hands of an animator and his infant son. This film raises several interesting questions, first and foremost is why is Jaime Kennedy a star when he has no talent what so ever? Based on this film he is talentless "actor" with no charisma. It maybe the film, but he's so uninteresting as to make watching this a chore.

I'm certain that Alan Cumming, Bob Hoskins and Steven Wright were doing this for a pay check, but at least they turned in something approximating a performance.

Kennedy walks through this film like a slacker Then again considering the way the film turned out I'm convinced that most of the production staff were slackers.

The special effects aren't special.
