| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls |
|---|
Jim Carrey returns as the crazy pet detective, Ace Ventura, in a film that doesn't supply a lot of laughs. After a rescue attempt to save a squirrel goes horribly wrong, he retires. After a sacred animal is taken from an African tribe, Ace is pulled out of retirement, and heads to Africa to find it. Only there, does he find out that it is the only animal he hates, the bat. This film is terribly stupid, and Ace's way of talking is horrendous. Only a few scenes pull in some laughs, including when Ace sees a room fall of animal heads. Probably the most disgusting scene in the film is when he is hiding out in a mechanical rhinoceros, and it becomes so hot that he pulls off all his clothes. He can't go out through the door, so goes out through the behind. An on looking family of tourists are watching nearby, and sees his naked body pull out from the rear end, which looks like the animal is giving birth.
