Plot
Ten years after the adventures of
Stanley Ipkiss (who doesn't appear in this film) in Edge City, Tim Avery (
Jamie Kennedy), an aspiring
cartoonist, is feeling reluctant to become a father when he has to take care of a
baby with amazing abilities. He has a beautiful wife, Tonya (
Traylor Howard) and a best friend (
Kal Penn) who is very shy around women. The baby possesses strange and terrific shapeshifting powers that he uses to torture his father. The baby was conceived while his father was wearing the Mask of Loki, a
mythological object that transforms the wearer into a manic
shapeshifter alter-ego (as it did to Ipkiss in the first film). As bad as a baby with godlike powers might seem, there is also the family dog, Otis, who is trying to use the Mask to do away with his competition for Tim's affection. But the really bad news is that
Loki (
Alan Cumming) wants his mask back, under command by his father
Odin (
Bob Hoskins).
