This is one of the movies that i grew up on. ever since i was about six, i would watch this movie along with several others when i was growing up. This has to be my favorite jim carrey comedy movie. i love just everything aobut this movie. as some one said before me who i didn't take the time to read all the way because it was way too damn long, Ace Ventura is a textbook example of who an original comedy should be made, not like today's mediocker (can't spell) comedies such as knocked up and american pie. in the third scene, this tells you , or at least it should have told you, that the reast of this movie was going to be hilarious: "Ventura."

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer." Jim Carrey's hilarious antics always guarantee a bunch of quality laughs. Over the years, Carrey has starred in an enormous amount of nonsensical comedies that are funny but nothing groundbreaking. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a textbook example of one of those aforementioned comedies that are nothing more than light-hearted entertainment. Jim Carrey has no problem with bouncing around the screen embarrassing himself while overacting, performing hilarious stunts and just acting in a wild (not to mention bizarre) fashion; demanding attention for every scene he appears in.

As I said before in my Me, Myself & Irene review I'm not a fan of Jim Carrey and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is better then MM&I but still pretty boring. Jim Carrey plays Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a guy that specializes in finding lost/missing/petnaped pets and returning them back to their owners. The major story of the movie is the kidnapping of Miami Dolphins mascot dolphin, Snowflake, and Ace goes on to find it while uncovering a bigger plot that includes Dan Marino. While Carrey is a bit funnier then MM&I he is still boring and mostly unfunny and supporting cast doesn't help the movie either. Writing is a bit of a saving grace as some of the dialog is witty and most of situations are well used but Carrey acting killed most of it. Overall Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a pr...Read more

He took what he did on 'In Living Color' and brought it to the big screen, and did a great job making it work. This is one of those movies that I watch if it's on TV, and I must've watched it a dozen times back when it first came out on video.

The Jim Carrey coming out party began with this comedy classic and years later I still laugh harder with every view. Carrey's character is a comedic icon and his performance is one of the best in recent comedy history.
