This is without a doubt my favorite of the Ace Ventura movies. It's just altogether so much better and funnier than the first one. Andrew even agrees. He says that Ventura is less weird and more funny in this one. First we meet up with him while he is trying to rescue a raccoon. This is seriously a heartbreaking moment for me. I think i teared up a little tonight when the raccoon's cables broke
and he fell into a snowy abyss. Ace takes it pretty hard too and goes to a monastery for a while. He tries to get a slinky all the way down the huge staircase of the monastery, and it stops on the very last step. Every child in the world ever after seeing this tried it at one point or another. It doesn't work unless your staircase is slanted. Anyway, he is hired to find a missing bat from an African tribe. First one of the greatest moments of this movie, when he is doing the greatest shadow puppet show ever during his briefing of his case. Hi Ho Silver Away!! Then he meets with the tribe and has a loogie hocking contest. This I absolutely cannot stand. I just gagged while typing that previous sentence. I can't even handle it in Titanic when Jack is teacher Rose how to spit like a man. So then Ace is welcomed into the tribe, fingerprint dusts the sacred room of the bat, and has some crazy witch hands made out of zucchini. He does some great undercover work of stalking a guy named Quinn, in which we are delighted with another wonderful montage of him blending in with different animals. The absolute best is when he is inside a robotic rhino, breaks his air conditioning, and tears his way out of the rubber butt while tourists are thinking a baby rhino is being born. Greatest moment of the movie.

He then visits a rival tribe and fights to stay alive by taking their Wachuchu tests. This involves walking on coals, fighting on a log, removing something from a body, and finally a fight to the death. He fights a crazy little guy that always makes Andrew and I think of Jaleel White. Sadly in the credits his name was nowhere to be found. Ace turns out to be such a sissy girl that they let him go. He then goes on to solve the case which involves teleporting his spirit to seek guidance at the monastery, a stampede comparable to the one in Jumanji, and a monster truck race through the jungle
Andrew would pre quote almost all the lines in the movie. So I think I'm going to sing along with every song in our next movie.
Andrew's Closing Thought: Shikaka!
Up Next: Across the Universe
I want to sing across the universe with you!! :O
