SON OF THE MASK
Oh, to be eleven again. That seems to be the “Age of
Enjoyment” of the audience for director Lawrence
Gutterman’s latest installment of “The Mask”. Sure
the plot is somewhat confusing, especially if you're
not up on Norse mythology, but the kids didn't mind
one bit.
In a nutshell, the errant son of Odin, Loki, loses his
precious mask. And it's no ordinary mask. It
bestows upon its wearer super-dooper powers. Odin
demands that Loki find and regain possession of the
mask, or else. So, Loki executes a search and turns
up at cartoonist Tim Avery's (Jaime Kennedy)
doorstep. It seems that Times infant son, Alvey Avery
(Ryan Falconer) has been displaying some very
interesting traits, and Loki is sure he has his man,
or, in this case, his baby.
A comedy, perhaps. A fantasy, sure. A little crude,
yea. Did the kids go for it? Seem to.

Brenda and Mary's comment
Since this is obviously not a movie for adults, we do not feel competent to “grade” the
film by adult standards. All we know is, they laughed in all the right places.
