In the film, Ace Ventura can tell the difference between the genuine darts of the Wachootoo tribe and the imitations used by his unnamed attacker, because they are made from different plant materials. He claims that the Wachootoo use the mimosa tree as material for their darts. The film is set in Africa. The "mimosa tree" or "silk tree" (Taxonomic name "Albizia julibrissin") is native to areas of Iran and East Asia. See more »

I don't normally respond to these kinds of things, but after reading some of the negative responses I couldn't help myself. There is a movie out there for everyone, something everyone NEEDs to laugh at and who can relate to. This movie is the opidemy of my humor and the extreme way it portrays the upper crust world of stuffy, snobby, self absorbed unrealistic people who think the world revolves around their view and opinions is classic and makes me laugh in a way that is honest for me.
I read that some people were offended by it and want to get others to share their view. All I gotta say is, "If you didn't like the first one, why did you go to see the second one? Just to complain?" Do all of us "Friends" of Jim Carey a favor, if you don't like his humor, just go find some stuffy anal retentive "fluff" film, and write reviews on them that we will never read since those movies are for stuck-up self absorbed types. Sorry I just didn't think it fair that these people are "Flameing" this as if there are no other possibilities.
Thanx for reading.
