Overnight sensation
Jim Carrey reprises his role as the eccentric detective in this follow-up to the runaway blockbuster
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The sequel finds Ace 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 (much to the horror of an American tourist family). 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 (
Tommy Davidson, who demonstrates a gift for physical comedy equal to
Carrey's). 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. Please note: the opening sequence may be upsetting to younger viewers.
