ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE JR. (Video Release USA 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.7|5.0 Starsìì

Ace Ventura Pet Detective Jr.—not as crazy and wild as either of Jim Carrey’s Ace Ventura Pet Detective movies—features Josh Flitter as the son of Ace Ventura. This is one of those movies where an audience may wonder where the idea came from and why did someone feel that the idea was good enough to make a movie from it. It seems everyone would have been more interested in another dip into the Ace Ventura character via Jim Carrey, especially since there was a good financial flow from the two Carrey originals.

Storyline

Ace Ventura Jr.’s mother is going to jail unless he finds a way to save her.
