I don't know how studios think some of these movies could actually make a buck!

Well, it just might make some money. If they brought Jim Carrey back, they would've had to pay him about $20 million. Since it's Jamie Kennedy, cab fare and a hot meal should cover it.

Of course it will, have these boards taught you anything?
The film will do very well in DVD sales/rentals. Kids will eat this up.
I like Jamie Kennedy, I thought his show was great, and MALIBU'S MOST WANTED was a surprise. But this is garbage. New Line Cinema just doesn't know when to quit. And I didn't even like the first MASK film!
Plus, well, Alan Cumming is one of worst actors around. Without Nightcrawler, he would be nothing.

Explain to me why this has an estimated budget of 100 million..

Sure it's IMDB, but I can't seem to find any other numbers. This movie is not very smart for a business move. You make a sequel 10 years later and expect people to care when the first wasn't very good. This works as just a CGI testing ground/demo reel.
even with a huge dvd sales, this thing needs to have some kick ass international numbers to make it even break even.

I remember seeing the trailer for this and thinking this has to be the worst movie ever made. That ridiculous talking baby jumping around and that stupid looking cartoon dog. Yikes.

Lots of pee and fart jokes. Most parents seem to find this crap OK for their kids (I disagree), but that's about it.

“That’s a very over the top script,” Penn said. “It was actually kind of fun to work on. It’s $100 million budget. I don't know how you spend $100 million, but I saw how you come close. It’s live action with a lot of animation and special effects in it. So every character is not one dimensional, but exaggerated.

^^ why thank you.
And like I said, that is the only numbers I can find. Can you provide anything that shows a more accurate budget that isn't waaaaaaaaaaaay off? Till then, I'm working with it.
even makes it into some review

Even with a lower budget. this movie will take some time to even get out of the red. It is just that bad.

$100,000,000
The figure you see above is what New Line Cinema paid to make this horrendously inept piece of garbage posing as family entertainment. It's downright insulting, not only to the audience that pays to see this, but also to every struggling screenwriter or director with a dream to make a movie that fails.

A review that takes its info from the IMDB, but forget it...
Do you think it cost that much? When was the last time you saw a 100 million dollar film that toplined the likes of Jamie Kennedy and Alan Cumming?
Kal Penn or not, I find it hard to believe. But I will wait until I get some better numbers. Continue "working with it."

Uh ... can't remember for sure, but I think it was the NY Daily News reviewer who said "Any parent who takes their kids to see this should be charged with child abuse."

$100,000,000 seems really high. Didn't Time Warner cap New Line's budgets for films at a much smaller rate (something like $40 to 50 million) unless they had permission to go higher. I can't imagine WB wanting to spend that kind of money on something since they are still recovering from over-budgeted FX movies like Osmosis Jones and Pluto Nash.
