 Instead of watching the critically acclaimed “The Mask” starring Jim Carrey, we decided to watch the less successful and critically panned “Son Of The Mask.” Jamie Kennedy stars in the role that essentially destroyed his acting career, but finds charm surprisingly throughout. Newcomers include Alan Cumming, Traylor Howard, and weird CGI anthropomorphic dogs and babies. If you just let yourself go for an hour and a half and forget about the original movie you can find things about this film to enjoy. Whether it be nods to old Looney Tunes cartoons or the props department's outstanding budget they were given. Either way it was a commercial failure, and derailed the whole “Mask” lore for future installments to be shelved indefinitely. However the boys enjoyed this watch somehow and made it through so technically it's watchable!!
