I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Ace Ventura: When Nature CallsThis is a Jim Carrey Show and it was almost as if even the writers knew that it would work and it does for the most of the time but besides Jim, it barely has a script of an episode.

I must have watched this movie 100 times growing up with my brothers, the whole movie is really hilarious, its more of a kids kind of funny but its still really good that I watched it a few times as an adult also, the story was good, it was entertaining and makes you laugh the whole way, especially the beginning when he first arrives in Africa lol

Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) travels to Africa for his next assignment. Ace has been hired by posh gentleman, Vincent Cadby (Simon Callow) to find a bat that was stolen from a local African tribe's village. Assisted by Fulton Greenwall (Ian McNeice), Ace searches through the village for clues and questions all potential suspects, as he looks to solve the case before an inter-tribal wedding is due to take place. The movie is mainly good in the jokes department. The first third is by far the best with the funniest jokes taking place then. The best of which is when Ace thrashes a Jeep through the jungle in a bid to get to the consulate quicker. The second third feels a bit slow, and although there are still many good jokes, they're not as good as the first third. But by the final third things begin to pick up again. The alligator wrestling and the final ten minutes of the movie are especially hilarious.As you would expect Jim Carrey steals the show with his super cartoonish acting in both the physical and verbal departments. Everything he says and does in the movie he appears to have thought long and hard about how to present it; and believe me, he presents it in the funniest way possible. There are also solid performances by Ian McNeice, who plays the mild-mannered Greenwall, and Simon Callow, who plays the posh consulate owner, Cadby. The other cast members are top notch too with McNeice a loyal sidekick to Ventura who helps him whenever he needs it. Callow is the second best behind Carrey and is a slimy,creepy and downright horrible character and plays it with every fiber of his acting and his scenes with Carrey are fantastic. Other actors like Bob Gunton excel as he shares a spoof torture sequence with Carrey who uses his eye to funny effect whilst we see a young Sophie Okonedo as the princess of a tribe and she is beautiful and we see her talent early on, the rest play they part with Carrey even if they are a bit wasted. So alrighty than... go get your giggle on.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

This has to be one of my top 5 movies of all time without a doubt. I hear people call it dry humor, but the energy Jim Carrey showed surpasses every other comedian you will see, and it is very contagious in my opinion. I don't want to go too deep but for me the best way to describe this movie is hanging out with Jim Carrey in his prime. A human being at the absolute height of his talent. If you don't like this Jim Carrey then you really don't like Jim Carrey. A legend in my books. One of his few rubber meets the road, completely unreserved movies. MISS YOU JIM!!!! Can't wait for dumb and dumber to!!!!! This has to be one of my top 5 movies of all time without a doubt.
