The Ace Ventura sequel, When Nature Calls. My gooey adolescent brain ate it up and it is one of the few movies from my childhood where I can set aside everything I've learned and just enjoy it.
I academically know it's bad and wildly problematic, I'm not blind, but nostalgia can be pretty powerful.
If somebody doesn't find that rhino birth scene funny, we can't be friends. I still shake violently watching that.
Any old Jim Carey movie for me tbh
What do you mean by that? How is it bad trying the save species from aquariums? Or trying the save a tribe from their own extinction because profit?
I'm mean those are good morals that should be taught at school, IMO way more important than history class which actually tells us how dumb we were and how dumb we still are.
[EDITED]
Maybe I got your comment wrong if so care to elaborate?
Thank you.
I think he was talking about some of the questionable representation of the tribal peoples in the film.
I feel like the first Ace Ventura tried to dance the line closer to an Action-Adventure/Detective-Comedy. The 2nd just leaned way into the comedy with the explosive popularity of Jim Carrey and it shows. Definitely don't mind it, the 2nd is still my favorite but the first is also a solid movie.
