The Pet Detective is back, but this time nature goes wild: after this tragic accident in the Himalayas a parody of Cliffhanger 1993 opening sequence. Ace Venture/Equinsu och; interpretation White Devil [Jim Carrey] and Spike [Binx the Capuchin Monkey] are found by Fulton Greenwall [Ian McNeice] in this monks monastery; known as the Ashram, he has been essentially being given these instructions by Vincent Cadby/Equinsu och [Simon Callow] to offers Ace $20,000 to find this missing animal, but Ace first time around declines Ashram Monk aka The Grand Abbot [Arsenio 'Sonny' Trinidad] interjects and discusses things with Ace; but Ace is yet to attain omnipresent supergalactic oneness. So thinking on his feet The Grand Abbot has a very ceremony to say there is basically, a few moments later Ace asks "What about my medallion of spiritual accomplishment?" Which again The Grand Abbot thinks on his feet [he has seen this as an opportunity to get Ace out of the monastery, but Ace doesn't pick up on this in the slightest even though it is transparently obvious that is what is happening here, even with the monastery having this celebratory party on his departure going through this crowd on his way out] and gives him his with Ace pointing out "This took 80 years to achieve" so in a nutshell with this supreme sacrifice Ace takes this case.

The pacing for this 90 minutes film is quick and easy to settle down with, I don't mean any disrespect with the following, but because the storyline is essentially the same as its predecessor Ace Venture Pet Detective 1994 if you want to know my opinions on it Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2019/02/ace-ventura-pet-detective-1994-by.html. When I say essentially the same I mean from the perspective of a storyline that works with let's not beat around the bush here Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura Pet Detective puts in a legendary and synonymous performance as he makes his character and these entire films work with enthusiasm and a free-flowing nature that is bouncing off the wall, but in both of these films he can also be seen to be serious when it is time to be.

Yes we have some new comedy material like for some examples; having one thing to do before he leaves the ashram monastery, which I am sure many people have thought about doing this or taking this husband's wife offer about enjoying the finer fruits [as she is wearing animal fur] so Ace punches her husband and wears him over his shoulders/neck and does this catwalk at this soirée of  Vincent Cadby and we also get some references to the board game "Monopoly" because this husband looks like the Monopoly Guy a.k.a. Maguire; the Skinny Husband [Michael Reid McKay] if you were wondering the real name of the Monopoly Guy is Rich Uncle Pennybags/Mr. Moneybags/Mr. Monopoly.

We have recycled comedy material from the first film title such as a reference/impersonation of James T Kirk from the original Star Trek performed by Ace [Jim Carrey] or a modified piece of comedy material from the first film to fit in with this sequel, where Ace in the first film in short survived/combat with a shark in this second film he survives/combat with either an alligator or a crocodile which on an observation it looks like alligator or crocodile is easier to handle as it tries to get away but Ace pulls it back into the water to continue the fight, which in comparison is just about right dealing with a shark would be slightly worse than dealing with an alligator or a crocodile.

But there is one fight which Ace very much comes in second place to, it is when he has no other choice but to take on Wachootoo Warrior/Wachootoo Prince [Tommy Davidson] which may not be the most tallest, but as Prince Ouda [of the  Wachati] points out to Ace early on in this fight; that he is a much better fighter than you which Ace replies Doy [this is to mean; thanks for pointing out something that is really obvious as Ace gets dragged back in by Wachootoo Warrior/Wachootoo Prince him hooking his head inside the top of Ace's mouth quickly after he says what he says.

Art; the scenery, landscapes, costumes and live animals are all good, the character developments and the performances are likewise all good, they are what they are meant to be, as I have already referenced this is Jim Carrey at his comical best.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it is a right laugh. This film has also Won or Nominee for awards 7 Won and 6 Nominees ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 1996; ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films Robert Folk American Comedy Awards, USA 1996; Funniest Actor in a Motion Picture (Leading Role) Jim Carrey. But this is where I have to be fair and balanced this sequel also has some negative awards accredited to its name such as; Winner The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 1995; Most Painfully Unfunny Comedy James G. Robinson and Nominee at the same award ceremony/event Worst Actor Jim Carrey and for some strange reason this award is here as well. Kids' Choice Awards, USA 1996; Winner Favorite Movie Actor Jim Carrey For Batman Forever [Edward Nygma/The Riddler,] I am just criticising why this award is under this title not the awarding of it, because it is/was without a shadow of doubt deserved.
