(Originally reviewed: 22/02/2017) Jim Carrey's 2nd worst film after the sadistic, repugnant Kick-ass 2; I usually enjoy his work; but this film is plain and simple not funny. I never laughed, nor did I smile, the whole picture was utterly painful to sit through. The only thing it had going for it was its production design which looked decent; it's a pity everything that talked and contributed to the screenplay for the film was either embarrassingly awful or just plain awful. There's no structure to the story; if you could call it a story, and there's no chemistry between anyone and the acting sucks; even Carrey who is desperately over the top; most likely trying to make up for the picture's bad writing; but even he wasn't funny here.Many of the gags looked like they were designed for teenage boys; the writer's think spitting gags, snot covered faces and a man eating bat droppings is funny; well here's some truth; there just not; there unfunny, gross and immature; at one point I wrote down I hate this film on a piece of paper and I've never done that before; that's how aggravating it was to endure. Other noticeably crap jokes include "Say hello to my stinky friend" where he sprays someone with a skunk, which is pathetic, and a terrible gag where he comes out of a rhino's ass; which is an insult to the intelligence of people who have a good taste in comedy. One other gag involved a fight with an alligator; now I actually felt sorry for the alligator; because even he looked depressed with Carrey's embarrassing performance. The film is complete trash; a film that requires constant unnecessary slapstick, unpleasant gags, and atrociously bad dialogue to exist; Jack Bernstein (writer) and director Steven Oedekerk who also helped write the film should be ashamed of what they have done, because this is a contender for worst comedy sequel of all time. Overall Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is juvenile, immature, pathetic, and pure comedic sewage. 0.5/5

I LOVE THIS Sequel. Sometimes when it comes to sequels, I often don't like but with this one it is one of the best sequels I have ever seen. It is just as good as the first one and it so many funny moments in it, you won't stop laughing through out the whole film. Jim Carrey was amazing as usual and his over the top character Ace Ventura still makes me laugh, especially when he stands out with his Hawaiian shirts. One of my favourite scenes has to be when he goes inside the bat cave and then tries to defend himself before running out screaming. If you like animals or if you just like the first movie then this is the film for you. "say hello to my stinky little friend".

I've been saving this movie for years for some kind of urgent need for a laugh emergency. But, it was on cable last night and since I was worn out and not interested in exerting enough energy to push a button on the remote, I resigned myself to the fact that perhaps I needed it and had saved it long enough. It was so funny I was practically hysterical and had suddenly lost that feeling of being too tired to move.Anyone who used to watch In Living Color can attest to Jim Carrey being a master of physical comedy. I used to watch him do utterly amazing stuff on that show and looked forward, every week, to seeing what he'd do next. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is, unquestionably, Jim Carrey at his very best.That goes for the entire crew of the movie. I think many people tend not to notice but there are huge differences between the quality of a comedy such as When Nature Calls and the rather half-hearted movies that just don't work very well and are not very funny as a result. Some of this can be directly attributed to how well the director frames scenes and how well they maintain the energy. To how well the writers, director of photography and the film editor did their jobs. With When Nature Calls, you have all of these bases covered in spades. It's truly well made in front of, as well as behind, the camera.Carrey never loses his momentum in this movie. He goes over the top quite frequently. Unlike some other comedic actors, though, he seems to almost always know when to stop. And when to play it cool, although that doesn't happen very often. I don't know how much of the movie is scripted and how much was ad libbed, but whatever the combination, it works beautifully. It's almost always hilarious and the camera always seems to be in just the right place. Exquisite production.Ace Ventura is a force of nature and all the world's a straight man for him, apparently. No one is safe. He is constantly pulling someone's chain. Particularly the bad guys who he always has squarely in his sights. I would definitely recommend this movie to a family. The small children, particularly the boys, will get a big kick out of it. It's disgusting from time to time and drifts effortlessly in to the scatological here and there but it's all good. One tip: when Ace gets to the African tribe's village, that might be a good time to leave the room for a few minutes. You're welcome.

When I was a kid I loved the first Ace Ventura movie. I remember not being as fond of the second one but that was mainly because I loved the first one so much. I've then rewatched the first one and actually thought it was kind of funny.Today I rewatched the second movie and seriously, it's just appallingly racist and stupid. It basically repeats the famous lines from the first movie (really, like a glove etc) and in between, it depicts people in Africa like a 50s documentary. If anyone thinks this movie is really funny, they should never be allowed to watch a movie again. Basically, they should forfeit their sight and give it to blind people so that they can use it to watch better movies.
