Ace Ventura When Nature Calls is the first movie that made me legit double over with laughter the first time I saw it. The second being The Original Kings of Comedy. The rate at which the comedy comes in 'Nature' remains unmatched for that style of one-man adventure flick
Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Much better than the first one which was mediocre. And The American President is incredible. Best thing that Aaron Sorkin has written although I haven only seen 1 episode of The West Wing and it was in the final season which I believe he had nothing to do with.
First Ace Ventura is the classic that broke him in to the mainstream and i still enjoy that one , but I never liked when nature calls. It's probably the only 90's Jim Carrey movie I flat out don't find funny at all.
Their criticism of the Ace Ventura franchise only shows their childish ignorance and inability to see their own flaws as reviewers. They complain about both films and Carrey for doing a sequel, yet quote the tremendous success of these films have had. Are they actually telling the millions of us that we’re wrong for thinking it’s funny? Why didn’t they admit they just don’t get it?
@@fawkkyutuu8851 I didn’t like when nature calls but I can also acknowledge that not everyone has the same sense of humor so I can respect the success it had.
After all these years, I just noticed the word READ on the truck above Siskel’s head and the word TRUST on the paper delivery truck above the image of Ebert’s head during the intro.
All kidding aside, I was pretty surprised that neither Siskel nor Ebert mentioned the actor in _The American President_ who gave what I think was the film performance of his career: Michael J. Fox.
Michael J. Fox was very good as Lewis and showed a lot of impressive range in that role. Kudos to Aaron Sorkin's great script and Rob Reiner's talented direction for that.
Okay, there is a clip of Fox right at the end and we see him in Gene's voice over at the end of the clips, but again, he was a supporting role and they can't mention everybody in there.
We need a mashup on TH-cam about the Riddler's origin story about how he used to be a pet detective, and splice scenes from those films into a trailer.
Tim Treakle The first Ace Ventura was much better than the second one, in my opinion. This is not Jim Carrey's fault--- I agree with S and E that Carrey had no one to play off in the second movie.
Aram Fingal Agree 100%. They complain about the franchise and how stupid it is, yet also admit what incredible successes both films were. Are they actually trying to tell the public what they should think is funny? Their critique only shows their childish ignorance and lack of objectivity.
The intro to their show looks incredibly dated for 1995. I was a young adult around then, so old enough to remember the era. That intro looks like a 70s rerun.
Olivia dABO was on a hot streak in 1994-95. First Greedy a screwball comedy with Kirk Douglas Yescthe Kirk Douglas and Michael JFox Ed Begley JR,then 2) The Last Good Time a serious Drama with Armin Mueller Stahl and Naureen Stapleton then my favorite of these three films Kicking and Screaming!!! If Annette Bennington was luminous then Olivia DABO was super luminous in Kicking and Screaming!!Heartbeakingly beautiful and lovely Olivia can do a much better American accent than most of her British contemporaries. Bob Hoskins ,Albert Finney and Michael Caine. No I’m not Olivia s agent ,but it’s a damn shame the suits in Hollywood could never see,what all of us see how incredibly talented she is. And almost 30 years later she is still at it plugging away at her craft.
It’s good but not as great as some of Rob Reiner’s earlier efforts before North. Still a good movie and I would recommend it though. Not Reiner’s best but still worth watching.
There are only four combinations of either they both like a film, they both dislike, Gene likes and Roger doesn't or Gene dislikes and Roger likes. And I would bet anything that the rarest of the four is Gene liking one that Roger doesn't. I don't know if I'm stating the obvious or not but I wonder if any superfans out there have compiled the numbers or not, I'd be fascinated to see that!
I have long loved The America President. So, I forced my daughters, ages 21 and 18, to watch with me. Both thought it was boring and they obsessed over how bad they thought Anette Bening's hair was. Sigh.
Ebert was right about "Total Eclipse." There were some fresh and original scenes in this movie, but it is undermined by Thewlis and DiCaprio's aggressively unpleasant personalities.
Funny, my favourite part was Ebert bringing up his legendary “I hated it. hated, hated, hated it!” Quote about Reiners last film before this one called “North”. While North is a horrible movie, it’s worth watching the review for just how worked up they get about how awful the movie they had to watch was. 😂
gspendlove I'm sure you are joking. It is Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and The American President. He was listing the films being reviewed on this show.
My favorite part of 'When Nature Calls' is when Ace challenges that tribal guy, and he throws spears into both his legs, and he runs around like a moron.
The American President was a terrific film Thumbs 👍 3 & a half stars out of 4. Kicking & Screaming was very good Thumbs 👍 also i give it 3 & a half stars out of 4. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls wasn't that funny like Pet Detective was Thumbs 👎 1 & a half stars out of 4.
The American President was a good film, but I think Siskel and Ebert are overly enthusiastic about it here, as an apology to Rob Reiner because of both of their unanimous hatred for his previous film North. They both thought Reiner was a good director, which he is, so it would only seem fair to praise his next film since especially Ebert tore North to shreds. They both gave TAP 4 stars while both giving North zero. TAP is good, but I don't think it's as outstanding as they claimed. I would probably give it 3 stars and considering North was a zero stars film that would still be very complimentary to Reiner.
Me too, it's good but not that great. For me it's special because it was the movie that revealed to me the formula of romance movies having an unlikely couple that have good times, then get pissed at each other and have to fix it again by the end, such a common formula.
Often times how they would vote was influenced by the other. If one gave a film a thumbs down the other critic would give it a thumbs up if it was a film they did not necessarily like, but did not want to be completely buried.
I wonder if the Dominic Armato who wrote to Ebert about the alternate ending to Clerks is the same one who's known for his voice acting in video games. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Armato
It was him. I confirmed it today when I emailed him from the address on his food blog. He said he regularly sent letters to Ebert and was a big fan of his. I sent him the link today.
I said about Ace Ventura 2 ever since right after it came out and have maintained ever since, we all (including myself) thought we wanted a Part 2 until we actually got it. I still remember seeing the first teaser trailer for it in the theater and the crowd freaking out. We needed to actually see the movie to really get that we wouldn't want it AT ALL lol very disappointing,
Most comedies don't need a sequel, Jim Carey flims don't understand that unfortunately. 2nd ace ventura, 2nd mask, 2nd dumb and dumber , those are just off the top of my head
It was by far the funniest movie I’ve ever seen and way better than the first one. Different strokes, I suppose, but to say it was “very disappointing” is just wrong.
The American President wasn't that great in my opinion, but it's cool how two actors in it would go on to great TV-shows, West Wing(Martin Sheen) and Spin City (Michael J Fox). West Wing was even made by Aaron Sorkin himself
Funny how they talk about what a smashing success the first Ace Ventura movie was, but complain about Carrey reprising the role into another success. Why don’t they just admit they don’t get it? Are millions of people wrong for liking it? Perhaps they need to take a look at themselves, instead of talking about what a stupid film they think it is.
I didn't like Ace either. And my cousin did the score for the first one. The problem is him trying to be funny. Compare him to Leslie Nielsen in Naked Gun, which my cousin also scored, and you'll see why it's better and funnier.
sha11235 I don’t think you get it. Naked Gun is simply a better directed movie, by someone who had a great deal of experience directing comedies. Leslie Nielsen is playing the role straight. He doesn’t need to be funny because the material is funny and his seriousness in these types of roles is what makes his characters hilarious. Nielsen is a legend and downplayed his roles perfectly, but he’s not in Jim Carrey’s league when it comes to being genuinely funny. Whenever Nielsen tries to act funny, he overacts and it looks silly. Jim can literally take a bad film and carry the whole damn thing on his shoulders singlehanded. Ace Ventura would’ve been a disaster if Carrey wasn’t there.
@@ricardocantoral7672 Oh aren’t you the little TH-cam philosopher. Everyone went to see that film because they enjoyed the first one and the second was still a lot of fun. It would’ve never pulled in that kind of money if it wasn’t at least entertaining.
it is absolutely hilarious to me that _Clerks_ originally ended - and in some versions still DOES end - with the guy simply getting quickly shot. what were they thinking? for one, Kevin Smith absolutely doesn't have the staging chops for such a violent scene to be taken at all seriously. and for two, _what the _*_hell_*_ were they thinking???_ what, the same wacky comedy with dead-guy boner/necrophilia gags ends with some rando walking in to shoot our plucky hero? yeah, okay. whatever. you know, i'm just not a fan of Kevin Smith's work. so i guess i Just Don't Get It. my bad.
'The Remains of The Day' is a far superior movie to 'Carrington'. It makes sense that these two ivory tower critics (much as I love both Roger and Gene) find more in common with the effete intellectuals in this movie, as opposed to the normal, stuffy, repressed characters in 'Remains'. One is a movie for people who value their smug genius so so much, and the other.. is for normal people. :-)
Maybe both you should admit that you have no taste in comedy. Do you think movies make over $200 million at the box office because they’re “not funny”?
Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good. A lot of great movies flop and a lot of bad movies do well. I liked the original Ace but I wouldn't tell someone who didn't that they're wrong because it was a big hit.
compared to what exactly? Many of his movies are hilarious. They aren't works of art in the sense of Au Hasard Balthazar, Through a Glass Darkly, or Sans Soleil, but you probably arent familiar with the those films, so your opinion means shit.
Oh how wrong you were two years ago...many comedians hold Carrey in VERY high esteem. He had some hilarious movies in the 90's and his characters on In Living Colour were great. In context, his films arent works of art next to Au Hasard Balthazar, Through a Glass Darkly, or Sans Soleil, but you probably arent even familiar with those films, so your opinion means shit.

Michael J. Fox was very good as Lewis and showed a lot of impressive range in that role. Kudos to Aaron Sorkin's great script and Rob Reiner's talented direction for that.

Completely agree. Fox was sublime in this movie. Stood toe to toe with Sheen and Douglas in every scene he was in. Deserved a nomination for this role
The American President is the kind of film Frank Capra could have made.
