10 Movie Sequels Nobody Asked For

3. Son Of The Mask

34 $84 million. That's how much this film cost. I'll let you sit and take that in for a while. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make this is probably mopping floors now, because this film was a huge money loser. I can understand making a sequel to the Mask, as it was left open-ended and really would have worked. However, leaving it 11 years, spending $84 million and still not casting Jim Carrey? That's a mistake. For some reason, this focuses on a baby who becomes The Mask. Because that's a funny idea, right? Wrong. Comedy legend Steven Wright is in this film, for no apparent reason at all, except maybe to pay his mortgage. He is vastly underused by the production but still manages to be the funniest thing in the entire film, although that's not hard in a film that features babies urinating and dancing for humour. Jamie Kennedy is the male lead in this. Yes, Randy from Scream. How far down the list do you have to go before you get to Jamie Kennedy and have to accept him as your male lead? That's the burning question here.
