Trivia:

In the scrapbook of Ventura history, the last page shows articles cut from a newspaper, two of the articles read: 'DOLPHIN CASE CLOSED: Ventura Finds Snowflake' and 'VENTURA SOLVES THE GREAT FISH CAPER'. These are references to the first Ace Ventura movie where Ace finds the dolphin mascot; Snowflake.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: As the prison bus carrying his mother drives away, a camera man is visible in the bus window's reflection.

Quotes:

Russell Hollander: Do you have any idea how often they let a member of Fish and Wildlire lead a SWAT team?
Ace Ventura Jr: Yeah. Never. You guys don't even get badges. You wear patches.
[Ace rip off officer's patch]
Russell Hollander: Give me that. Do that again, and you'll be arrested for assaulting a federal officer.
Ace Ventura Jr: Okay, fine. Jeez. But technically, police dogs outrank you.

Movie Connections:

Follows Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)

Call me crazy....but this was a fun movie....

Now I went into this thinking the exact same thing as all of you. That this movie is going to suck, that its going to be the worst movie out there. But to be completely honest with you, it was cute and funny. It was a cheesy movie, but if you take it for that, just being a cheesy movie, than you'll like it. Its not a master piece and not nearly as good as the originals. But it is certainly a lot better than other sequels. The main character is actually pretty funny and makes good use of the old Ace Ventura lines, while throwing in a bit of his own style in there. So if your looking for a good laugh from a movie than I would honestly recommend it.
