Regular película, una secuela con un nivel inferior a la original. Esta película sigue siendo igual de divertida, con un Jim Carrey que nuevamente se luce y ayuda a que el humor funcione gracias a sus geniales movimientos corporales y faciales. El humor me gusta mucho, pero hay muchas veces que lo noto algo invasivo y puede llegar a cansar. Sin embargo, hay escenas muy destacables que te sacan muchas risas, como la del rinoceronte que es muy graciosa. La historia me gusta y entretiene bastante, pero no iguala a la trama de la anterior cinta ya que creo que se enfocaba mas en la trama y no tanto en ser un conjunto de chistes. Las actuaciones me gustaron mucho, principalmente Jim Carrey como ya dije, pero también cumplen Maynard Eziashi, Sophie Okonedo, Ian McNeice y Simon Callow. En conclusión, una regular película que es mas que nada para pasar un buen rato ya que no hace falta que le prestes mucha atención y te va a entretener y divertir, aunque no tanto como la primera. La recomiendo.

Plagued by overacting and disconnected jokes, this sequel is juvenile and obnoxious. Ace Ventura's shenanigans are occationally funny when they build on his character or the story, but those moments are rare and mostly you just wonder what the hell is going on.

One of the most hilarious and silly movies of all time. A true classic. Jim Carrey's out of this world chops are on full display here as he delivers of the most, if not the most iconic comedic character ever put on screen.

the scenes of ace ventura sitting in the line with chimpanzees, the fight scene with the savage tribe and parking of the car are few of the many hilarious scenes in the movie.

New York Times

If the movie itself aimed higher, it could have drawn laughs without compromising Ace's anarchic sense of fun. But Ace is slightly nastier this time.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

Carrey is really more clown than actor. And that's where the Jerry Lewis reflection comes in. Carrey is not just goony, he's beyond control, like someone in need of serious sedation (or at least some firm directorial guidance).

Rated: 1.5/5

Gone With The Twins

Highlighted by a mechanical rhino skit (built and acquired out of thin air) that takes the cake on combining unrefined humor and laugh-out-loud unexpectedness.
