Following a traumatic experience, Ace Ventura returns to work in the African country of Nibia, where he attempts to track down Shikaka, the sacred animal of the Wachati tribe. Ace Ventura was a brainless comedy vehicle for Jim Carrey, but at least it had a discernible plot. The sequel lets Carrey loose and hopes that he creates magic by clowning his way through every single scene. The laughs are few and very far apart.
