Trivia:

This is the first film of the 'Ace Ventura' series in which Jim Carrey does not play the title role.

Goofs:

Continuity: A scene where A Plus flees down the stairs and cloaks into a crowd of students by the lockers in the school's corridor, bullies chase after him and trail behind a chubby school boy in a striped green and white polo shirt and denim shorts in the process. In the following scene, Ace Ventura Jr. rushes down the stairs aside the exact same chubby boy from the scene before as if he had not been ahead of the bullies searching for A Plus.

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: Pet Detective (1994)

This is not Ace, it's a Looser!

This is how good brand could turn into rubbish...

This movie is bad. The director used the well-known brand and adapted it to a kiddy audience. The main actor is trying to imitate Jim Carrey but it is just boring and flat (definetely untalented).

In addition, this film does not introduce anything new. Everything has been enriched by the typical patterns (family problems ble ble ble). It is highly ridiculous, almost at all. Unfortunately, I do not recommend it to anyone.If you saw the previous parts, then stay with them. Ace's son adventures are completely colorless, unfunny. This is one of the most unnecessary sequels ever.

I'll give it 1/10, because I watched earlier "Zack and Miri make a porno" which is awesome.
