Son of the Mask
Plot
In the spirit of Jim Carrey's iconic 1994 comedy classic, Son of the Mask brings forth a new wave of zany antics and wacky humor. The film centers around Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy), an aspiring cartoonist struggling to make a name for himself in the competitive world of animation. Tim's life takes an unexpected turn when his mischievous dog, Odin, unearths the ancient Norse mask of Loki, left behind by the god of mischief himself. As fate would have it, Tim and his girlfriend, Nikki (Traylor Howard), soon find themselves expecting a child - but not just any ordinary infant. The "mask-borne" baby boy, Alfie, is imbued with incredible abilities, inherited from the mischievous energies of Loki's legendary mask. As Alfie grows at an alarming rate, he begins to exhibit supernatural traits, leaving Tim and Nikki bewildered by their son's rapid development and uncanny powers. As Alfie's antics become increasingly outlandish, Tim must navigate the challenges of parenthood while trying to comprehend his son's extraordinary abilities. With Loki's mask still in play, the film hurtles forward into a realm of surreal chaos, where cartoon characters and real-life entities blur together in a hilarious free-for-all. In a world where slapstick humor reigns supreme, Son of the Mask pays homage to the original while introducing fresh faces and wacky scenarios. The movie's blend of absurdity, wit, and pop culture references will keep audiences entertained as they follow Tim's journey through parenthood, cartoon chaos, and the unpredictable adventures that ensue when a mischievous baby boy with superpowers enters the picture.

Just one word: awful. I did kind of enjoy watching the main male supporting character, though. At least the Chinese translated title on Douban is pretty good.
Everly
Incredibly nonsensical.

Sequels often struggle to live up to the original.
