About Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

This inevitable sequel finds Jim Carrey reprising his role as the world's greatest pet detective. His latest case, the disappearance of a rare African white bat, draws him out of his spiritual retreat at a Tibetan monastery following the tragic outcome of his previous case. That traumatic experience, which makes for a hilarious opening-scene send-up of the Stallone thriller Cliffhanger, prompts Ace to venture to Africa, where he goes native with the tribe that hired him to find their symbolic bat. From that point anything goes, with Carrey pushing the boundaries of good taste (what, you were expecting good taste?) up to and including his now-infamous "birth" scene from the backside of a mechanical rhinoceros. Lighten up, and don't be ashamed if you find yourself laughing. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com

Comic genius. Well, maybe not genius. But still funny.
I didn't like the first one, except for Cannibal Corpse being in the first one.
I can't say a bad thing about this movie.
Is it A Beautiful Mind?
No.
Nor is it trying to be.
Grab some popcorn, rent this on a summers night and try not to spill the popcorn.
A must see!!! June 12, 2008

The sequel to the hit film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, When Nature Calls is better off being considered some sort of prequel seeing as how Courtney Cox is nowhere in the film and there are no mentions of the first adventure. Although it carries the name Ventura it falls short of expectations. The humor in this film is much more grotesque then the first including a scene alluding to Carrey masturbating. This is still a decent movie with rough comedy throughout. The first film is far superior in my eyes. August 9, 2007

Ok I just dug up an old video of this movie and memories came floating back. When i was like 7 or 8 my parents bought the movie (oblivious to the rating) and i watched it again and again. Oh and after i watched it every time i started talking like him.

Man when i watched it now as 14 years old I got all the jokes. Their not that bad (if anyone watches Are You Being Served its about as bad as that)
its just so funny. I mean some of the non-sex jokes are kinda funny but over all its great.

Its a real family movie.

Jim Carry at his best.

My son ordered this flick, and has watched it again and again. It is a hilarious example of Jim Carrey's old work, and the quality of the disc and case was like-new. It arrived quickly, and in great condition. Will shop again! March 21, 2007

Jim Carrey returns to the screen as Ace Ventura,only this time the plot has changed.This movie takes Ace to Africa,where he is to investigate the kidnapping of a sacred bat,which is the pride and joy of an African tribe.Together with Fulton Greenwall,a philosopher,Ace unloads his humor on the African terrain as he seeks to stop a war between the Wachattis and the Wachootoos,two African tribes. This movie was funny and I especially recommend you will find the consulate scene very funny. The Monopoly guy is priceless.Another great comedy from Jim Carrey February 28, 2007
