Carrey of course carries the film with ease but also has famous support like he did in the first film. The Last Word: If you like stupid, and I mean unintelligent crap, than this is for you. I mean, what does that say about bats if a lover of all animals can't even stand them and finds them revolting. You might get bored watching the first part 3 or 4 times but not this part! It is totally under the mercy of how many catchphrases Carrey can recite and the rather embarrassing slapstick humor. The first movie had good witty comedy with a slab of clever to boot.
Carrey is much funnier when he becomes subject to the plot, not when he tries to dominate it. I don't think there are many people who can make such a variety of facial expressions. This film is too casually dismissed because it looks like a terrible movie. I am not talking about the gross-out humor, like Carrey making the biggest loogie in history by the way that was quite disturbing but the director seems to think that Ace has to be the World's biggest jerk to survive in the African setting. He's just outrageous and rarely witty. N'ah wasn't a fan of this film.
I don't normally respond to these kinds of things, but after reading some of the negative responses I couldn't help myself. And this movie is dang funny. At least Carrey got to pay the rent with the paycheck, so it's not a total loss. In a lesser film, perhaps. Pricing, channels, features, content, and compatible devices subject to change. This movie is anything but lazy. Why do they spend any kind of resources on such trash? As Ace goes on with his investigation, he finds out that he has been chasing the wrong guys and that the real culprit is someone he never suspected.
This sequel fails because it looses that vital final element. I swear the man is made of rubber. I read that some people were offended by it and want to get others to share their view. This movie though is better because the story flows freely unlike P. But please, let's stop the insanity before Jack Black, who is the next pretender to Carrey's place, takes over.
The sheer resolve not to explain the truck's presence is a sublimely satirical dig at movies that might place monster trucks in the jungle just for cheap, lazy wackiness. The absence of Courtney Cox is probably the worst part of the movie. The comedy gets tired and forced. But the man's biggest gift is also his biggest problem. However they are not given as much to do and are of less value – Callow, Gunton and McNeice are not that missed when off-screen.
This movie isn't funny, well acted or anywhere near interesting. This is definitely a bad movie. The only reason this is not a ten is because there is as usual with Carrey some inappropriate stuff thrown in. This is the stage of his career I really didn't care for. For personal and non-commercial use only. He's inventing a manic persona so complete and fully realized, that it transcends standard comedy and achieves something mystical and poetic and truthful.
Simply put: No suspense whatsoever in this one. But he returns to the pet cases at the request of Fulton Greenwall Ian McNeice to save a sacred bat.

I still cannot believe that such respectable actors such as Simon Callow would agree to do this type of movie, something that all other Hollywood actors from the first movie avoided. The main problem: somebody did not burn the script. Compatible device and high-speed, broadband Internet connection required. As in the first film, many of the supporting characters are just decorative, except Simon Callow he was the gay guy who croaks in Four Weddings and a Funeral and Sophie Okenedo.
It treaded on the line between funny and silly, between good and bad. I laughed at parts of this movie as they are actually pretty funny. But the story just kept getting in the way. And lastly, yes it may seem a bit absurd, it's Ace's love for animals that comes out quite well. I thought that Ace Ventura Pet Detective was pretty funny but this movie was so bad that I was embarrassed to be watching it. Not because the first movie was that good but there was just something so mesmerising about Carrey that he was too important to ignore at that time.
And they only managed a smirk from this writers face! The main problem is that the actors are very obscure celebrities and Carrey has the whole movie to himself. The plot is meaningless, the acting is too desperate and the comedy fails on so many levels. Despite most views of this movie, I thought it was just as good as and in some aspects better than the original. The only reason that this movie was made was because of the theory that if a movie makes a big splash and becomes a big time hit then a sequel will also be a big hit. It really has nothing to offer but Jim Carrey making the weirdest faces, some childish 'humor' For instance spitting in someone's face or crawling out of the ass of a rhino and the worst overacting I've seen in years.
