Turning a dark comedy sequel into a family film is a risky idea to begin with. But that didn’t stop Hollywood from trying with “Son of the Mask”. In the film, an animator gains mystical powers by putting on the titular mask. After wearing it into the bedroom, he fathers a baby who has the mask’s powers. Throughout the film, the powers produce terrifying imagery that feels unsuitable for children. But the movie’s a bad fit for adults as well, as the jokes are unfunny and Jamie Kennedy can’t replace Jim Carrey’s performance from the original “Mask” film. The 6% score on Rotten Tomatoes confirms that “Son of the Mask” wasn’t a fit for anyone.
