Movie Review – Ace Ventura When Nature Calls
Synopsis: Africa’s the place and Ace is on the case, setting out to rescue an animal he loathes – a bat! Jim Carrey 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.

Recommendations:Ace Ventura Pet Detective
I like this one better than the first one. This has some moments that are just down right funny. It is not the funniest Jim Carrey film, but it ranks up at the top. Though this movie is funny, it also has moments that are to dumb to even laugh at.
Overall, it is a good film, even if it is a little dated at this point. If you have not watched this film, you should either pick it up in the discount bin or rent it.
