Admirable film.

A Masterpiece!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Ace Ventura: When Nature CallsThis is a Jim Carrey Show and it was almost as if even the writers knew that it would work and it does for the most of the time but besides Jim, it barely has a script of an episode.

(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

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995): Dir: Steve Oedekerk / Cast: Jim Carrey, Ian McNeice, Simon Callow, Sophie Okonodo, Bob Gunton: Dumb comedy about the union between man and animals and the stand to preserve wildlife. It opens with a parody of Cliffhanger where Ace Ventura fails to save a raccoon stranded on a mountainside. Depressed, he secludes himself in a temple until he is summoned to Africa to find the sacred bat thus preventing a war between two tribes. Basically the same stupid concept as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective that devises predictable developments and recycled dialogue. The tribal jokes are offensive but director Steve Oedekerk allows for beautiful shots of Africa that are pretty much the best aspect of the film. In fact, watching ninety minutes of African footage on your average wildlife program would be better time spent than watching this. Jim Carrey does nothing new accept portray Ace as a bigger jackass. Ian McNeice is wasted as Ace's contact. Simon Callow plays the villain whose final scene has him molested by a gorilla. Sophie Okonodo plays the tribal Princess who encounters Ventura and allows him to pop her cherry before her wedding. This has him chased away from the village in a manner that many critics of this film may of felt. Serves only as a lame sequel and with all its idiotic mayhem it's a wonder why anyone would want to hear nature call. Score: 3 / 10

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.
