A cartoonist and family man, Tim Avery (Jamie Kennedy) lives a peaceful existence with his wife, Tonya (Traylor Howard), as well as their infant son and dog. When the curious canine finds a mask with mystical properties, both dog and baby create chaos with its powers. While Tim and Tonya try to contain the damage, the sly Norse god Loki (Alan Cumming) comes looking for the artifact, resulting in more mishaps that ultimately incur the wrath of the deity's powerful father, Odin (Bob Hoskins).

Critics Consensus

Overly frantic, painfully unfunny, and sorely missing the presence of Jim Carrey.

Cinema S @cinema_sensei Sep 30, 2026 I expected it to be an absolute trash, and honestly, if you turn your brain off completely, there’s a weird charm to how utterly unhinged it gets. It doesn't hold a candle to Jim Carrey's iconic original, and the uncanny CGI baby is genuinely terrifying. But as pure, chaotic, mindless noise, it’s so absurdly bad that it almost becomes funny.

My God See more Jeffrey K @RT95831871 Jul 24, 2026 I genuinely can't believe people think this movie is good. If Rotten Tomatoes let us put no stars on it, I'd demand Rotten Tomatoes to let us go negative. My brain hurts watching this movie. This movie makes me want to plug my toaster into the outlet and jump into my bath with it. If I have a child and they asks to watch this movie I am never gonna let them pick a movie ever again. Overall, horrible movie and whoever made this movie needs to get their directing degree taken away See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12, 2026 Lavagem de Dinheiro, uma merda. See more Jaron M @RT08927101 Mar 16, 2026 I am definitely different, and far from other review's. I honestly love this one more than, The Mask with Jim Carrey. I love the more cartoonish vibes with this one. It’s different but not a bad difference, people always need things the same, they don’t like change. Who cares about random bad reviews, they aren’t out here producing and directing them with their ideas are they. So all in all, no movies bad, cause it’s all about someone’s preference. Yet again, my IQ is way higher than half the 10k plus reviews put out. Less or more. Humans are pretty slow. So their bad opinions are irrelevant.
