Initial Thought: So here we have another uninspired cash grab threequel like Legally Blondes. This one isn't even a direct to DVD like that one. It's somehow even worse as a television production. Seriously how do they make these sequels? They make the people relatives of the beloved characters we know and then never even show those characters.
Characters/Acting: There is barely anyone I really recognize here. I hate that they tried to make the kid look like his dad with the hair. He just comes off looking ridiculous in a bad way. This kid just ended up being annoying rather than funny especially when he tried impersonating Jim Carrey. The only returning character here is Melissa Ventura who is played by a different actress. The characters here are even dumber than the original. At least Jim Carrey made stupid look good. The rich kid reminds me of a stuck up Richie Rich.
Story: The son of an eccentric detective steps into his father's shoes after his mother is wrongly arrested for stealing a baby panda. Seriously that's how they wrote off Jim Carrey's character. Just goes to show how much they didn't care. Wow they tried to throw in the "Don't tase me bro" meme to try and be cool with the kids of the year. The way they use it here is just ridiculous. Somebody only even gets tased once and it's off-screen in those scenes so it isn't even effective. The ending made me facepalm.
Directing/Writing: It took four people to write this script including the director. I can already tell this is not going to be an enjoyable watch. I can't believe Jack Bernstein allowed his character's name to be soiled like this. David M. Evans has pretty much gone downhill since The Sandlot. He allowed the creation of the horrible sequels and now he makes horrible sequels to somebody else's films. This is the only film I have seen from Jeff Sank and the Heimberg brothers. As none of them have really done anything before or since this. I can't imagine why that would be a surprise.
Final Thought: That was just plain horrible. I can't believe I made it all the way through. The acting was horrible. I hated that the first movies were referenced here. This was definitely the death of Ace Ventura. Do not see this! I don't even think kids will like this unless they are too young to think.
