D-
"None of the sequences take time to develop and buildup; they're just thrown at us mindlessly."  FromTheBalcony  Bill Clark

D-
"The infantilization of Son is a serious misstep, replacing the earlier film's bawdy vibe for one that resembles an acid-trip episode of Yes, Dear."  FilmJerk.com  Brian Orndorf

"Alvey is endowed with awesome powers to shape-shift and abuse every living creature that comes within reach of his chubby little hands."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"There is no reason to make a trip to the theater for what amounts to a loud and frenzied day at Chuck E. Cheese's."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

C
"Instead of Jim Carrey's clowning being the film's raison d'etre, it is the sub-par mayhem of Jamie Kennedy and a computer-animated dog and baby."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

1.5/4
"...messy and meandering. Clearly, this banal computer-generated clunker has all the witty bounce of a disabled kangaroo. Mask needs to hide its hideous face"  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

F
"Unrelievedly manic, gruesomely unfunny... a disastrous mess. It's actually physically painful to watch."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1/5
"I’ve seen some sorry excuses for sequels in my time. But Son of the Mask reeks in a category all its own."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

"If your idea of a good time is watching your favorite cartoon classics butchered by a CGI dog and a creepy baby resembling a deleted scene from The Polar Express, then..."  FilmStew.com  Larry Carroll

D-
"There’s no story to speak of, just a string of scenarios usually resulting in everything in sight getting smashed."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"[I]t’s either on a sugar high, running all around the place making you nauseated with bizarre camera angles, like up people’s noses and crotches... or comatose..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

2/4
"Has it not occurred to Hollywood that no one wants to see Jim Carrey-less sequels? Isn’t that kind of obvious, or have they completely underestimated the comedian’s appeal?"  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

D
"The movie is dumb and loud, which some children will confuse with entertaining, but parents may question the appropriateness of some of the material. "  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

1/5
"an awful, unoriginal, infuriating, and endless mess"  Filmcritic.com  Pete Croatto

1/5
"The film starts promisingly ... but our laughter stops the moment the special effects kick in."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

1/5
"Soaked through with garish FX gags and obvious looks at the "funnier" side of bowel movements, streaming urine, and bitten crotches. (But by all means, bring the tots.)"  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

C-
"... a harried, screechy film that goes nowhere at a breakneck pace, full of sound and furious slapstick overkill but devoid of wit."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

C-
"Teeters between amusing satire and broad toilet jokes. It isn't terrible, but it is terribly silly."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Sean O'Connell

1/10
"Jamie Kennedy is no Jim Carrey! This misguided, manic exercise is already a contender for one of my 10 Worst Movies of 2005."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

0/4
"No matter how much you paid or were paid to watch this capophagic mess, son, you been robbed."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
