He's the best there is. In fact, he's the only one there is! He's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Jim Carrey (The Truman Show, The Mask, Liar Liar) is on the case to find the Miami Dolphins' missing mascot and quarterback Dan Marino. He goes eyeball to eyeball with a man-eating shark, stakes out the Miami Dolphins and woos and wows the ladies. Whether he's undercover, under fire or underwater, he always gets his man...or beast!
"Hilarious!" Nora Fraser, The Home Show
"A perfect comedy!" Jules Peimer, WNWK Radio
"A riot from start to finish!" Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Editor's Note
Picking up the scent of missing pets, Ace Ventura gumshoes his way through an obstacle course of absurdity in this theatrically successful comedy.

"...Carrey scores..." 07/01/1994 p.90Sight and Sound
"...This has sure-thing hit written all over it with its winning combo of goofiness and genre send-ups..." 05/01/1994 p.38 New York Times
"...Carrey gives one of the most hyperactive performances ever brought to the screen..." 02/04/1994 p.C8 Variety
"...Directed with vigor....ACE is briskly paced and graced with Carrey's ceaseless energy and peculiar talents..." 02/07/1994 Los Angeles Times
"...[The film] proves perfectly capable of inducing unexpected giggle fits. Carrey's refusal to be anything less than utterly inhuman on screen is heroic in its own brave, nutty, pretty funny terms..." 02/04/1994 p.F6 Washington Post 6 of 10
Carrey is restlessness defined. You get tired watching him. You get tired laughing at him... Treat this project as you would a safari: It has its slow parts but the wildlife makes it worthwhile. With eyes bulging, neck extended and legs Elvis-Presleying all over the place, Carrey is one funny animal. - Desson Howe
