Anthony Puccinelli Chicago Reader Too much of a crude thing... Rated: 1/4 Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Janet Maslin 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. May 20, 2003 Full Review 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 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Fico Cangiano CineXpress Podcast When Nature Calls is what happens when Jim Carrey is full-blown unleashed. And where many will definitely walk away, others will relish the lunacy of this hilarious sequel. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 May 5, 2025 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ Decidedly ill-conceived and underbaked. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 6, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie 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. Rated: 4/10 Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
