This time, the zany animal sleuth with the gravity-defying hairdo emerges from self-imposed exile in a remote Himalayan hideaway and travels to deepest, darkest Africa on a mission to find Shikaka, a rare white bat sacred to the Wachati tribe which has gone awol. And the clock is ticking - Ventura must find the beast before the wedding of the tribal chief's daughter or all hell will break loose between the Wachati and their rivals the Wachootoo. The gags aren't as funny as in the original, and the supporting cast (including Ian McNiece as explorer Fulton Greenwell and irritating luvvie Simon Callow as Vincent Cadby) is not as strong, but Carrey's comic capers still raise a few chuckles.
