One of my all time favorite movies! Hilarious and fun to watch! I really like Jim Carey's style of comedy. He is funny and really gets in to his roles. The movie is casted really well and all of the actors seem to work together really well. Their timing is good and seems natural. The movie is a staple at our house. We quote it all of the time.

Jim Carrey is one of those actors you will find yourself either adoring or hating. He does not ever "underact." This movie made me laugh so hard I cried (even after the fifth time!) From the robot rhino scene to the monopoly guy Jim knows how to be hilarious. I saw the first one (liked it a lot) and have to say this one is way better! I am a huge fan of Carrey. I don't think there are many people who can make such a variety of facial expressions. The only reason this is not a ten is because there is (as usual with Carrey) some inappropriate stuff thrown in. But if your love laughing and you love Jim, this movie will fit you "Like a glove!"

This inevitable sequel finds Jim Carrey reprises his role as the title character Ace Ventura, a detective who specializes in retrieval of tame or captive animals in Ace Ventura:When Nature Calls. Ian McNeice,Simon Callow,Maynard Eziashi,Bob Gunton,Sophie Okonedo and Tommy Davidson play key supporting roles.His latest case, the disappearance of a rare African white bat, draws him out of his spiritual retreat at a Tibetan monastery following the tragic outcome of his previous case.Ace Ventura is on assignment in Africa to prevent a tribal war by saving a white bat sacred to both sides. Along the way, he nearly sleeps with a seductive African princess before her wedding, experiences astral projection with an enlightened monkey, masturbates, collects bat dung and, last but not least, is birthed by a mechanical rhino. Often short on taste, the film is nonetheless full of good spirit and plenty of genuine belly laughs particularly during the fight scene with a diminutive tribal champion.Not for every taste, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is either hilarious or insufferable, depending on the viewer's opinion of Carrey's unique brand of slapstick and sight gags. If you're ready to laugh like a pack of hyenas, if you want more fun than an industrial-sized barrel of monkeys, you know what to do.Watch this film for that reason and also for guilty pleasure.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is a great movie with a very well written storyline and a terrific comedic cast. It's a fun sequel that is much larger in scale and budget than the first one, we get to see Ace Ventura head off on an even bigger adventure this time around that takes place in some very expensive looking locations that show that the studio put some big money in to this movie, but the actors and director still get the creative freedom to make the movie they wanted thankfully. It's certainly a disappointment in comparison to the original Ace Ventura, it's not as entertaining and wacky as the first, and there aren't as many memorable moments, I also would have liked to have seen other characters other than just Ace return, particularly Courteney Cox's character would have been a welcome return. The highlight of the movie is of course Jim Carrey, it is always a delight to watch him on screen, here he is given loads of free time to run around and improvise, and the best scenes of the movie are actually the parts that have nothing to do with the actual plot, they're just Carrey being the legendary funny man he always is. Though it's certainly more forgetful than the original, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is still a fun ride that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good comedy. Ace Ventura comes out of retirement to help find a missing bat who is the symbol of an African tribe. He soon finds himself in more trouble than he expected.Best Performance: Jim Carrey Worst Performance: Damon Standifer
