Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
jackrod893 starting off i was a huge fan of the first 2.me and my friends watch bad movies for fun. we've seen it all birdemic,the room,manos the hands of fate,spy kids 3 and 4 etc. never have i been so annoyed so disgusted so.....lets put it this way i wanted to stop seeing movies after this good bad i was done with movies after this. from reed Alexander's annoying small role as the "villain" to josh flitter's horrendous role as the "hero" honestly every single thing about this movie is dreadful and unwatchable. bad joke after bad joke(this is Sparta!)a tired bland story etc. annoying is the best word to describe this movie so do yourself a favor and don't watch it it's to late for me but you can still live your life without seeing this. this movie ruined the first 2 for me and for those saying this is a kids movie i ask you why did they make a kids movie out of a movie that wasn't a kids movie? and also kids movies don't have to be stupid and insult their intelligence this film was like a college course in how to be stupid and treat kids like they are stupid. i hope i never see another movie like this again and i hope none of you do either.
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Somewhere in Hollywood lives an evil genius and his grand plan is to make sequels to every Jim Carrey movie...WITHOUT Jim Carrey. If that wasn't bad enough this film replaces Jim with some fat, irritating child AND suggests Ace died. The best thing would have been to make this a prequel with Ace as a child. Not give him a stupid ugly kid."Respectful" is not a word in this film's vocabulary. It also has some old guy, playing Ace's dad, whom repeats all of Carrey's signature lines in a fashion akin to your own grandfather, embarrassing you at your birthday party. This is really horrible, verging on disgusting. I'm not the biggest Ace Ventura fan, but this is just ghastly. I hope all involved have a suicide pact.
AchillesRWP I don't normally write reviews for movies but after seeing this movie, I took the time to create an account and voice my disgust / deter other people from wasting their time watching this film.Watching the first Ace Ventura films, it's easy to say they were at least decent films and hence entitled to the mid-ratings they received. Watching the third installment makes it easy to say it was worth of not only less then what it has (2/10) but the negatives if only it were possible.The storyline is a watery carbon copy of the other two films (i.e missing animal needs to be found) with nothing new added to it besides a goofy child actor who's performance was abysmal and mindless, childish jokes. The writers seem to have directed the movie only at toddlers. It uses potty humor very heavily and no-one (not even toddlers) would find it appealing. A big mistake by the producers and executives who even approved this waste of money. It's a big disappointment to the Ace Ventura franchise.
gusnorri-1 Okay, so I'm a big Ace Ventura man, I grew up with them and I've watched them both probably about 30 times. So, when I heard about a third one coming out a few years back, naturally, I got excited, but didn't really follow any updates of it. Then, today I stumbled upon a copy - and man, oh man, did I not like the front. I watched it and, okay - I get why you hard core Ace Ventura fans are writing crap after crap about it, rating it with 1 star, but the 1.9 is not what it deserves - far from it. The main character, the chubby son of Ace Ventura is one of the best kid actors I've ever seen ( born in '94, making him 15, about 14 when the movie was filmed ) He could've skipped all the phrases his "dad" used and just stuck with the ones he / the writers came up with, some of them were actually pretty decent. And there are scenes where I broke out laughing...* SPOILERS BELOW *Like in the beginning when he first goes to his crush's house, and she opens the doors with a big smile "hi Ace!" and he immediately screams "OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO PRETTY" I thought that was hilarious... And another one, of the top of my head - when he goes into the house of the rich kid, right after they sneak past the servants - they cut into a long shot of a hallway with a bunch of expensive sh*t - and he manages to wreck all of it, I laughed so hard when he first enters from the right - breaking an expensive vase of some kind.The only thing that really bothered my was THE RICH KID. That is the lamest excuse for a cool kid any movie has ever made... His voice will haunt my dreams for the next month, along with his attitude, smile and appearance! Is that a man or a woman!?A feminine man or a mannish woman!?Not bad acting, but the character makes me wanna grab a fork and scrape the skin off my skeleton.It gets 4 out of 10 from me - If it wouldn't have had any reference to Ace Ventura, I'd give it 6, but because it does, it drops down to 4.
