Review of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995) by Clem666 — 08 Apr 2022
Another chance for Jim Carrey to coast throughout the film. From his work emerge some emblematic moments, and unfortunately many others disappointing. He didn't neglect any gag on here. He clearly gives all he can on every single scene.
Carrey's performance still remains the one and only rollercoaster of the movie: when he is out of the screen you will fall asleep faster than ever. When he appears you know he won't leave you indifferent. For the best and the worse. He manages to prove he is always able to dig deeper and deeper into vulgarity, childish humour (can't even say we can call this humour) and autistic facial expressions.
His talent isn't able to erase the emptiness of the scenario, the ridiculousness of the other protagonists and the worse than bad pace of the feature. Stunts are quite impressive though. Thank you very much Steve Oedekerk to only showcase black people as rudimentary savages and white men as noble ones. And don't forget that asian men remain in their temple on top of the mountain. This fact precipitates my conclusion that this movie benefits from almost no reflection in its genesis and production.
