Critic Reviews

  • Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

    There's so little to watch besides Carrey, in fact, it makes you actually miss (gasp!) Sean Young from Ace 1.

  • Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com

    A little bit of Carrey goes a long, long way--and this Ace Ventura comedy goes on for too, too long.

  • Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    Thank heaven for the pause button and the few dozen breaks that helped relieve the pain.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    Warner Bros. doubled the budget for this sequel in 1995. For their trouble, they got half as funny a film.

    Best comedy ever...with Jim Carrey at his best

  • Alexander D


    Better and funnier than "Pet Detective", but even if nature calls for this series again, I won't.

  • AJ V


    First of all, Ace Ventura was a big hit in the 90s, so they made this sequel to capitalize on the success, but it didn't really need a sequel. This one just took the original ideas and made them less funny. Overall, there are only a few funny scenes, so I'll say it's… More
