A refreshingly self-contained sequel, in fact so self-contained that it might even be a prequel.
Jim Carrey is the only actor to return from the original, although the opening shot of him rock-climbing from the back dares you to suppose otherwise!
And it is a terrific opening. The movie that it parodies is one that I've never seen, but even I still recognised it.
Ian McNeice knows exactly how to take a backseat to the film's star too, which really enables Carrey to shine.
The film is much ruder than the original, and grosser with it, but at least Ventura gets to deal more with animals in this one.
