Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

"Shikaka. Shikaka... Shikasha. Shish kebab. Shawshank Redemption. Chi-ca-go, you're outta there!" — Ace Ventura

One of the best comedy sequels I've ever watched - I'd go so far as to say it's better than the original. Maybe just because I didn't get all the baseball metaphors. At least it doesn't hinge on making fun of trans people.

Ian McNeice and Simon Callow are both brilliant foils for Carrey, and some of the set pieces (the arrival at the mansion party, the projection room) are classics. I can never sing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang the same way again.
