Son of the Mask wasn't a completely terrible film, it was just geared at a younger audience than The Mask with Jim Carrey. It wasn't as dark as it's precedecessor, which made it more family friendly. But even as a family oriented movie, it was still corny. And it had it's funny moments with zaniness, but compared to the original film, it'll never be great.
The cast was pretty great actually, albeit Jamie Kennedy, still flying high from his hidden camera show, wasn't a good fit. But Bob Hoskins as Odin and Alan Cumming as Loki we're perfectly cast. Of course, both of them are great actors. Ben Stein makes a cameo as Dr. Neuman, the only link between the original film and this sequel besides the mask itself.
