apparently , when crap calls , jim carrey answers .
here he is , mugging it up in countless unfunny ways for the fifth time , his second go - around in the role of pet detective ace ventura .
that means more talking ass - cracks , penis jokes and cries of " al - l - l - l - l - l - l - l - l - l - lrighty then .
"
it all adds up to a sequel that makes the original resemble schindler 's list in terms of dramatic merit , or lack of .
granted , there are a few laughs amid the constant barrage of pre - school humor , but anyone who appreciates good comedy will bang their head against the wall ten times for every minor chuckle .
it 's a painful experience for anyone with a brain .
ace is distraught after accidentally dropping a racoon into a canyon ( in a parody of the opening scene of sylvester stallone 's cliffhanger , jim carrey being the only person who can make stallone look like a college professor in terms of intellect , or lack of ) and decides to retire to the mountains of tibet to gain a higher level of consciousness ( or , in his case , a level of consciousness ) .
but he is pulled out of retirement to the tune of $ 20 , 000 to retrieve a sacred white bat for an african tribe .
why africa ?
so carrey can disguise himself nude inside a fake rhino and later climb out the rear end as a tourist family watches ( " look , the rhino 's about to give birth ! " ) .
if that seems like hee - haw humor to you , by all means , see the movie .
if not , claim your place in human civilization with the rest of us .
obviously , there are quite a few nonmembers of civilization who made this movie , like the first ace ventura film ( i use the word " film " only because it was filmed ,
not because there 's any level of artistic merit . ) , a huge success .
in fact , carrey only has a career because of the decline of intelligence in our culture .
you may say to me , " but andrew , look at jerry lewis .
he was born with a negative i .
q . and look how popular he was thirty years ago .
"
maybe , but i still say jerry lewis is a notch or two up on the comedic ladder because he never actually did an impression in a movie of a rabid bulldog biting off a man 's testicles . . .
lewis at least had the dignity to save that performance for when company came over .
because of the decline of intelligence in our culture it 's a painful experience for anyone with a brain will bang their head against the wall when crap calls the constant barrage of pre - school humor countless unfunny ways
