Ace Ventura JR
Added 7/29/2009
Wow, who thought in Hollywood this would be a good idea? The movie ignores Ace Ventura SR for most of this dreadful film, hinting at him briefly. Then out of the blue, it's revealed that he is lost in the Bremuda triangle. The kid playing JR is a bad actor and shouldn't get anther role in Hollywood. The whole movie is just a mess with bad acting, bad camera work, and just a slap in the face to fans of the orignal film. Stay away from this, I saw it for free just to witness the train wreck.

It's Just a Kid's Movie?
Added 6/19/2009
Well, if this movie was classified as a kid's movie, it's a big mistake. Unless you were born in the 90s you won't have a clue who Ace Ventura is. This movie wasn't awful, it had some funny parts in it, but really it's nothing like Pet Detective or When Nature Calls. The thing I'm confused on is why didn't they have Jim Carrey come back? Where was he when they shot this? You have to really see the first two to get an idea. Because they reference to the ending of When Nature Calls a lot. John Flitter did a boring job on this. He was NOTHING like his "dad". He had no emotions towards Ace, and he was just like "I'm Ace Ventura someone stop me". When Jim Carrey was like "SOMEBODY STOP MEEE!!!!" It really isn't a good kids movie. Pick up Pet Detective and When Nature Calls no doubt, but leave this one on the shelves.

Its just a kids movie, its just a kids movie, its just a.. SHUT UP!!!
Added 3/26/2009
I know this is just a kids movie but that is not a reason for it to stink like this. And yes I actually saw this movie. I was curious to see this movie even though it reeks of a cheap cash-in on the name of Ace Ventura. I just wanted to see if it could stand on its own as a movie. It couldn't.
The movie details Ace Ventura Jr(supposedly the son of Ace Ventura)trying to free his mom from jail with accusation of a stolen panda. Stupidity and non-hilarity ensue.
So many things wrong with this movie but let me break it down this way.
Acting: Cheesy beyond belief. Its like the people in this movie live in an alternate world where Baby Geniuses 1 and 2 , Ed and Master Of Disguise are held in high regard so they use the same type of lame humor that those characters in those movies use and fall on their face just as hard. Joshua Flitter's character is only relegated to mimicking Jim Carrey's mannerisms from the original Ace Ventura movies. No originality there so lets move on.
Humor: When all you can rely on to be funny is pathetic pratfalls and slapstick that any kid has seen millions of times before you know you suck. Never has animals farting and Joshua Flitter bumbling around like some wannabe Leslie Nielson been so boring. I mean the jokes in this movie looks as if they were made up as the movie went along.
Storyline: Weak as hell. Is that the best the writer can come up with? I understand that this is a kids movie but Saturday night cartoons(past and present) have better plots than that.
Conclusion: Ace Ventura is a certified bust written by idiots that perceive their young audience as idiots with jokes that nobody(kids or adults) would find funny. Somebody should have told the writers of this brainless fiasco that NOBODY LIKES SUPERBABIES, BABY GENIUSES, ED AND MASTER OF DISGUISE!!! Those movies were universally panned(and for a great reason I might add) so using the same type of witless humor will get you nowhere fast. Don't subject your kids to this sludge. There are far better family movies out there that are created by geniuses not hacks that think all kids(as well as their parents) are stupid neanderthals that deserve to be taken advantage of. I still cant believe that the same director that gave us the wonderful The Sandlot is responsible for this garbage. Every dog has its day I guess.

I'm going to have to agree with the other guy, I had never heard of this movie till about 2 minutes ago when I was going to order the original Ace movies because yes, they are perfect films and one of the few movies to being me to tears with laughter. (See rhino scene in "When nature calls"
But just looking at the title, I hate these kinds of movies, though yes they are made FOR KIDS entertainment and not adults, but they just make the movie so stupid, its no wonder that kids these days are annoying...and stupid.
I have not seen this film, nor will I ever. It's just a proven fact about movies that if some random group of people make a remake of an older film but replace the stars with their selves as kids, and how it all started bull, you get the biggest pile of crap ever. I mean it was released to DVD, I have never seen a commercial for it, and probably never will.
The bottom line, its crap...total and utter crap.

Hollywood Continues to Screw my Childhood!!!
Added 3/10/2009
The original Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a childhood favorite! I love it! Now, they make a 3rd one where some kid tries to act like Jim Carrey! They are just trying to cash in on a franchise by stealing the name. I have not seen this movie, because I refuse to watch it! Until I'm forced to watch it like they make Alex do in 'Clockwork Orange' I give this 1 star, and I would NOT recommend ACE VENTURA JR: PET DETECTIVE!!!
