This was an absolutely horrendous movie full of bathroom humor that is aimed at getting a cheap laugh. The only reason that this movie was made was because of the theory that if a movie makes a big splash and becomes a big time hit then a sequel will also be a big hit. Often times that is not the case and this movie is one of those. The first Ace Ventura had a lot of the same bathroom humor and slapstick humor but it went about it in a more tasteful way. The first movie has a believable plot and does a good job of telling the story. This movie however was totally unbelievable and at some points utterly stupid. In the beginning where Ace Ventura becomes a very spiritual man is totally unrealistic and turned me off to the rest of the movie.
