"The Mask" is the absolute funniest film i've ever seen in my life. CGI enhanced the first film and made it even better then it already was. In this case, it makes this cash in plummet into the dirt. Everything about this film is painful and there are no redeeming features at all... read more

The strange mask that gave Jim Carrey remarkable powers in the 1994 hit The Mask makes a mess of a seemingly ordinary family in this special effects-laden comic fantasy. Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) is a... read more

the only entertaining thing about this film is the Dog when he wears the mask and the ending duel between Loki and the dad with the mask on, other than that its a load of crap

1st commandment; Tex Avery's name shouldnot be disgraced
Well, that happned...
This movie tried to hard to bring laughs and it failed completely. Just a boring embarassment. This is more of a pinoff I think then a sequel to the 1994 The Mask and it strayed away more form th... read more -

When seeing the trailer in front of "The Polar Express" back in 2004, I noticed that there was no Jim Carrey. That fact did not kill me. I already expected that the film would have cartoony effects like the first. Did not see it in the theaters. I went to see "Pooh's Heffalump Mo... read more

Caught on tv, this film was a bit of a crazy watch. Whilst comparisons will inevitably be made to the first, there really is no competition of which film is the best (that's The Mask by the way). With that in mind, you have to take this film as a film in it's own right and whil... read more

What an absolutely atrocious film. It's just so annoyingly terrible that you can feel the anger rising within you. Everybody looks, and should be, ashamed to have taken part in this. The only person that manages to escape complete damnation is Bob Hoskins. The rules of the first ... read more

In the five years I've been co-hosting this show, this is the closest I've ever come to walking out halfway through the film, and now that I look back on the experience, I wish I had. Full Review
If you are the son of Frankenstein, Flubber, Dracula, Lassie, Ali Baba, Sinbad, Billy the Kid, Davy Crockett, Robin Hood, Tarzan or Satan, you have to accept that the movie about you is likely not as ... Full Review
A film top-heavy with joyless Tex Avery-style special effects and a dancing-baby bit embarrassingly reminiscent of TV's Ally McBeal. Full Review
With so many cuts a second, all attention goes into following the visuals. Just as well, since the story leaves so little to work with. Full Review
Guterman falls into the same trap he set for himself in the equally lifeless Cats & Dogs. There's nothing funny going on around those zany visuals. Full Review
It's all very juvenile, yet there's a level of imagination one wouldn't expect from such fluff. It's the sort of visionary immaturity that bridges generations. Full Review
Parents who let their kids see this stinker should be brought up on abuse charges; so should the movie ratings board that let this suggestive mess slip by with a PG rating.
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. Full Review
What we basically have here is a license for the filmmakers to do whatever they want to do with the special effects, while the plot, like Wile E. Coyote, keeps running into the wall. Full Review
