Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Directed by Steve Oedekerk
- ርልዪረFebruary 7, 2025I have never laughed so hard before in my life like I did after watching this film. Great family fun from beginning to end. Ace Ventura is totally nuts and gets into alsorts of scraps and trouble. The bit at the beginning with slinky is brilliant. His love for all animals creates lots of chaos. One definitely to watch.
- RichardOctober 19, 2025Jim Carrey returns as Ace Ventura, summoned from a Tibetan ashram to solve the mystery of a missing sacred bat in the jungles of Africa. The plot? Barely matters. It’s a vehicle for Carrey’s elastic face, animal obsession and slapstick chaos. The film leans hard into cartoon logic: Ace births himself from a mechanical rhino, slides down temple steps like a slinky and causes tribal warfare with nothing but a bad attitude and a better hairstyle. It’s louder, weirder and more unhinged than the first film. Critics hated it. I loved it. It’s the kind of sequel that knows it’s ridiculous and doesn’t care.
- RecordedsnakeDecember 28, 2025Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is pure Jim Carrey chaos at its best. The film fully embraces absurd humour and over-the-top physical comedy, delivering iconic, laugh-out-loud moments throughout. It’s loud, silly, and unapologetically ridiculous, and that’s exactly why it works as a timeless feel-good comedy.
- Nathaniel “KingBear” ReifenheiserOctober 4, 2025If you love Jim Carrey, you’ll probably love this movie. If you can’t stand him, you hated it. Simple as that. Personally, I’m in the first camp — his commitment is so over-the-top it makes the absurdity brilliant. The original Ace Ventura was the launchpad, but this sequel? So bad it’s beautiful. Thirty years later I still catch myself yelling “CHICAGO!” like a lunatic. Critics trashed it, which is why it earns a place of honor in my 5/10 zone. Honestly, if I were being fair, it’s more of a 7 — but the 5/10 slot is for movies I actually rewatch, movies that are terrible and amazing at the same time. The plot? Ace has trauma, hides in a monastery, gets lured back into the world, and somehow winds up in Africa birthing himself from a mechanical rhino while preventing tribal war. It makes no sense. But if you liked the first one, you’ll love this.
