This is a bit of a let down from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. With the change of a director, and only Jim Carrey coming back, I think hurt it a little. Some of the jokes are recycled from the first. The rhino scene is very funny, and something I can still laugh at. 7/10.

Ace Ventura is the only film Jim Carrey has ever done a sequel for, and it's easy to see why. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is almost a laugh-a-minute ride and the film itself is simply down-right fun to watch.

The sequel isn't as bad as people think it is. The story continues after Ace Ventura retired. The movie had a lot of great scenes and I really loved it and hope that all the future sequels will be as good. This isn't the best sequel ever, but it's worth the original one.

  Written and directed by Steve Oedekerk, the latest "Ace" has a little more of everything than the first: more special effects, goofy props and "Airplane"-like sight gags.

  This sequel to 1994's surprise blockbuster is shamelessly stupid, willfully juvenile and generally just plain gross -- which is, after all, the point.

  It's a death-defying hodgepodge anchored by the complete confidence of star Carrey.

  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.

  Carrey is in top form here, giving a wildly confident, physically draining performance with all the stops pulled out.

  Director Steve Oedekerk, who also wrote the script, simply provides a frame for the string of Carrey sight gags, which come fast and constantly. Some work, some fall flat, but the overall momentum is never allowed to flag seriously.

  Carrey tries hard but the success of his excessiveness has always been down to pegging it to good plots and good partners.

  As always, the verbal comedy is nonsensical and vulgar, and the physical humor is rigorously thought out and really vulgar.

  But the best moments are in the trailer (the squirting skunk, the asparagus in the teeth), and they are funnier in short doses than lazily strung together. [10 Nov 1995 Pg. 01.D]

  Yet, there is also little doubt that when it comes to extreme physical humor, Carrey is remarkably gifted, a throwback to the vintage antics of Jerry Lewis or even the slapstick gang of silent comedy.

  It's the worst Carrey movie yet, but it has a handful of inspired moments in which his signature wackiness is so funny it hurts.

  Carrey's style is to keep the jokes moving so quickly and with such force that you can hardly stop to consider how stupid they are.

  Instead, Mr. Carrey turns up in a sloppy second Ace Ventura film that's little more than an echo of the first. A two-minute trailer wouldn't miss many of its highlights.

  There's nothing worse than a film which mistakenly believes it's the comic event of the year. For no legitimate reason whatsoever, When Nature Calls is full of itself to the point of being offensive.

  Youngsters may enjoy it. But the humor is generally of the genre heard in the boys' locker room at the high school gym.
