Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Jim Carey is the best

This came just as described and my kids love it.

Family classic, great to see my daughter laugh at the same stuff we did as children.

Very funny iconic movie

Just finished watching the movie - already forgot what the movie was about - all I remember is Jim Carrey's powerful, dominant screen presence - from the beginning to the end - and the: "I'm the second shooter on the grassy knoll" - it was not an LOL movie per se - but a non-stop-giggles kind of a movie - totally fun to watch.

Pleasure

I've probably watched this Jim Carrey comedy more times than any other comedy in my life. Ace Ventura is so welly-etched in my brain that I have to watch it by myself, cause I'm talk out the dialogue in the film the whole duration of it playing. God this movie is hilsrious. The sequel as well. "Like a glove"!!!

Had to watch with my kids. Just a classic funny movie from when I was younger. Don’t expect anything amazing, just some fun humor to hold your attention.

Pet detective Ace Ventura (Carrey) is assigned to track down Snowflake,the mascot of football team The Dolphins before the Superbowl.Jim Carrey, the man. Whether you love him or hate him you cannot denyhis comic talent. In this 1994 crime comedy he plays a smart crazy petdetective who has the best catchphrases of any character, of anycomedy, of any film, of anyone, ever.Opening with a delivery man kicking a package and destroying it withevery step he takes and you feel as if you know this person and yousimply have to love him for it. His character never slackens, alwaysentertains and gets funnier with every scene. He is a comic master andhe is this film.Carrey's performance does take the shine off a well written plot. Thescript is a great incentive for Ventura to be wacky and spontaneous.The pursuit of a missing dolphin is interesting, if not quite asintense as it should be. We see Ventura using his 'skill' and his'charm' to give the older viewers plenty of laughs where the slapstickmoments are undoubtedly aimed towards younger generations, howeveryears on it is still as funny as when I was young. The sarcastic yetsophisticated undertones still remain classic.Flowing all the way through, this nineties comedy follows the maddetective in an intriguing investigation. There are lapses in themajority of modern comedies where the stereotypical hero has to redeemhimself to find the answer and everything is super come the final piecebut there are many twists and turns and a difference in the comicformulaic style here which gives the film a uniqueness that requiredCarrey's special touch. No clichés, stereotypes or cringing romancesequences that don't shine off the plot, unless you count the atrociousmade for money sequel.The supporting cast are good enough to add some extra laughs but theyare always standing in Carrey's superior shadow.Sharp, witty and exceptionally funny, Ace Ventura: Pet Detectivejustifies the genre and is worth watching whatever age you may be.9/10

I've seen Ace Ventura when nature calls many times and watched the entire cartoon series as a kid, but I don't recall in having seen this film so I went ahead and bought it.This is a great film, and I think is a typical Jim Carrey character in the way he acts, his manerisms etc. and that's what I love about his movies.There is a genuine story line in this and I think the film and Jim Carrey to a good job at sticking to it and making it obvious with what's going on. There's also many funny moments which don't feel like they've aged too badly.Definitely worth watching.

My kids aged 14 and 15 first saw this years ago and really loved it, so I've got us a copy to watch together. As they get older there are fewer and fewer films they will willingly watch with us old parents so I'm delighted to be looking forward to it. Having just seen Carrey unrecognisable as 'Stars & Stripes' in Kick Ass 2, I am in awe of his unique talent.

Where do I begin? Ace is just so hilarious, every second that he appears on the screen should have you laughing out loud. The storyline is full of brilliant twists, the jokes are stupid enough to be satisfying to nearly anyone with a decent sense of humour, and Jim Carrey provides his usual mad antics and stupidity that really make this film such a great laugh.What more could you really want?

Looking for a lost dolphin can be fun but when ace Ventura gets in on the action this film is funnier . He is totally mad. Like then parcel scene at the beginning.
