The plot concerns failed cartoonist Tim Avery ( Jamie Kennedy), who is afraid of conceiving a child with his wife Tonya ( Traylor Howard) because he believes his kid would be ashamed of him and his dead-end job. The violent tone of the comics was toned down in the first film adaptation to suit Carrey's comedy stylings, so fans clamoring for a more loyal adaptation were displeased even more when Son of the Mask reduced the style further, to the point of making it ( supposedly) family-oriented.


Son of the Mask is the 2005 sequel to the 1994 Jim Carrey fantasy comedy The Mask, which was itself based on the Dark Horse Comics series of the same name about a magical green mask that gives strange, almost unlimited powers to anybody who wears it, but also causes them to lose all their inhibitions and self-control.
