Product Description

Africa's the place and Ace is on the case, setting out to rescue an animal he loathes: a bat! Jim Carrey (Batman Forever) returns as Ace, the alligator-wrasslin', elephant-calling, monkeyshining, loogie-launching, burning coals-crossing, disguise-mastering pet detective. 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. Heed the call.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This inevitable sequel finds Jim Carrey reprising his role as the world's greatest pet detective. 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. That traumatic experience, which makes for a hilarious opening-scene send-up of the Stallone thriller Cliffhanger, prompts Ace to venture to Africa, where he goes native with the tribe that hired him to find their symbolic bat. From that point anything goes, with Carrey pushing the boundaries of good taste (what, you were expecting good taste?) up to and including his now-infamous "birth" scene from the backside of a mechanical rhinoceros. Lighten up, and don't be ashamed if you find yourself laughing. --Jeff Shannon

From The New Yorker
On paper, Jim Carrey's latest smash is just a bunch of strung-together set pieces that make the writing on last season's "Saturday Night Live" look hilarious. But, like Jerry Lewis, and, to a degree, Steve Martin, Carrey can make the idiotic seem inspired, and his manic mugging creates some big laughs. It's not acting, but what other star can turn his mouth into-literally-a toilet? -Bruce Diones

Good but...5
...in the first Ace was human-like. With emotions and he knew when to stop acting stupid. In this one he's a maniac. And it gets annoying. Some seriousness to him would heighten the rest of his wild, face pulling antics. Great joke with the monopoly guy though.

I liked the first movie but this was just not funny!1
Well I like Jim Carrey fan and I liked Ace Ventura Pet Detective, that movie was funny and being a Star Trek fan I loved Jim Carrey's hysterical imitation of William Shatner's Captain James T. Kirk but When Nature Calls just wasn't funny, I think I laughed once and that was it, well actually it was more like a mild chuckle instead of a gut busting laugh!

I wish I wish they'd let us give 0 stars1
I was trapped on a bus while viewing Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and so couldn't get up and leave. However even the thought of diving into freeway traffic seemed less painful than sitting through one more second of this teeth-grindingly bad film. The shocker was that it was actually LESS funny than I thought it would be. If you like great comedy; Blazing Saddles...Naked Gun...Airplane...Spinal Tap...DO NOT watch this movie. Jim Carrey is a talentless hack who has the charm of a root canal and the intelligence of tapioca pudding. He stomps from scene to scene, yelling and gesticulating through a minimal plot (I'd say laughable but we should be so lucky to laugh at ANYTHING in this movie) and no character. You could go to the mall and watch a 4-year old do this for free. And know that he didn't get paid to do it.

All movie stars are overpaid but when Jim Carrey makes a film the world should weep for the millions of starving children his salary could feed. And after that, they should be treated to some REAL comedic talents.
