Entertainment Weekly
The characters twirl around like mini tornadoes, but between random brash moments of technological eye-tickling, Son of the Mask sags more than it spins. - 50
Miami Herald
In actuality, it's silly fun custom-tailored for reluctant young fathers and that entire clan of 20-something man-children who still read comic books and play video games, guys who do everything possible to resist the notion of adult responsibility. - 40
Village Voice
At its heart is a deep, unresolved ambivalence about child rearing. - 38
Chicago Tribune
Even with a new leading man and a more family-friendly rating, some things never change: The Mask still stars Industrial Light & Magic. - 30
Variety
The net result is a truly numbing experience. - 30
L.A. Weekly
Most of the animated sequences, capably mixed with live action, leave a bad aftertaste, particularly when the ultimate fate of one beaten and battered human bystander after another is left callously unresolved. In other words, parents beware. - 25
Christian Science Monitor
Cumming's antic acting is the only asset of this boisterous comedy. - 20
The Hollywood Reporter
Loud, mean-spirited and generally obnoxious, Son of the Mask makes the boisterous 1994 original look downright demure and refined.
