More About This Product

Overview

When your dog, bird, or water-dwelling mammal disappears, who do you call? Ace Ventura Jim Carrey is a low-rent private eye who specializes in recovering lost animals, so when Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins' aquatic mascot, is kidnapped, team representative Melissa Robinson Courtney Cox puts Ace on the case. However, Snowflake isn't the only Miami Dolphin who has gone missing; several key members of the team also disappear, including quarterback Dan Marino who plays himself, who is spirited away while filming a TV commercial. With the Super Bowl only two weeks away, will Ace be able to find Snowflake and the missing athletes in time to salvage the big game? Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was a surprise box office smash and catapulted manic comedian Jim Carrey to stardom. The supporting cast includes Sean Young as ill-tempered Lois Einhorn, Udo Kier as the sinister Ronald Camp, and rapper Tone Loc as Ace's detective pal Emilio Loc also wrote and performed a song for the closing credits.

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide
The film that marked Jim Carrey's graduation from TV sketch comic to box-office phenomenon, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective had such surprising widespread appeal that it even won over many of those who shook their heads at Carrey's manic antics on Fox's In Living Color. He's none too subtle here, quite literally talking out of his butt ("Do you mind if I ass you a few questions?" is a typical groaner), but his hyperactive willingness to go above and beyond for the laugh soon became Carrey's trademark, and it's exuberantly on display here. The loosey-goosey plot about a kidnapped dolphin keeps the audience in the right frame of mind, and Carrey handles the rest, maliciously manhandling packages while disguised as a delivery man, hiding himself inside an ill-fitting cardboard box, and making a mockery of a home for the insane. It's fitting, of course, that he spends a lot of his time talking to animals -- they meet on level ground, bird brain to bird brain. Sean Young has a lot of fun as the campy villain, and Courteney Cox is appealing as Carrey's love interest. But Carrey is center stage here, and boy, does he take it. The film also marks the directorial debut of Tom Shadyac, who followed with a string of light comedy successes in Liar Liar (also with Carrey), Patch Adams, and The Nutty Professor.

    A reviewer

    I must have watched this movie thirty times in one month during college! A true classic script and especially performance by Jim Carrey, with nonstop manic nonsense and madness. Filled with tons of hilarious one liners and quotables from Carrey. I think it's Carrey's funniest performance, with Liar Liar second, and The Mask third. This was him making it to the big time as a comic actor and he holds nothing back.

    "Do not go in there"

    Really the last funny movie by Jim Carrey. This is hysterical from beginning to end and of course I love the animals. May Flipper rise again because of the ubiquitous Ace Ventura!

    Jim Carrey is Great

    I can't believe that Carrey hasn't gotten nominated for an oscar yet. He is believable as this Ace Ventura character and all the characters that he has done so far. A really funny movie!

    AWESOME

    This film is totally awesome. As soon as I saw it, I went out and bought a copy immediately. And I only ever buy the best films, I can assure you. Right from the very start Jim Carrey's character is completely hilarious. One of the funniest films I've seen, and one of Jim Carrey's best performances. This is a great film. Go and buy it. Now!
