Son Of The Mask (2005) 5/10

Starring : Jamie Kennedy, Alan Cumming, Traylor Howard, Kal Penn, Bob Hoskins
Director : Lawrence Guterman
Running Time : 88 mins

When his pet dog finds a strange mask and brings it home, wannabe cartoonist Tim Avery (Kennedy) finds his life changed forever when, under the influence of the mask, he gets his wife Tonya (Howard) pregnant and finds himself the father of a Norse God power-imbued baby. Meanwhile Loki (Cumming), the Norse God of Mischief, is forced by his father Odin (Hoskins) to travel to Earth and locate the baby in order to find his missing mask.

Fans of the comic book series will hate this movie for everything it stands for – it’s even more kiddie friendly than the Jim Carrey movie – but, too be honest, it wasn’t as bad as I’ve heard it was. It may not be the best film ever made, it’s special effects are pretty bad, and clearly it is aimed at pre-teens, but it doesn’t deserve to be in the bottom 100 movies of all time.
