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.


Plot Summary

Pet detective Ace Ventura may be a clumsy, bumbling fool, but he always gets the job done. His latest assignment: to recover the Miami Dolphins' mascot, a.k.a. Snowflake. Poor little Snowflake has been dolphin-napped -- but luckily, Ace is on the case.

Professional Reviews
Premiere
"...Carrey scores..." 07/01/1994 p.90

Sight 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

5 of 5 Great comedy. Thursday, December 01, 2005
Pete from Northern NJ  

I'm not sure if this is Jim Carrey's first theatrical appearance, but in my opinion, it's probably one of his best. The facial expressions, movements and dialog are done in a way only Jim Carrey can. I rated the plot a '4', but it doesn't matter. All you'll be doing is laughing uncontrollably. I highly recommend it as a good way to keep you laughing your a$$ off for 1hr 30min.

5 of 5 THE FUNNIEST MOVIE!!!!! Saturday, January 08, 2000
juanjomartinez from Manawa, Wisconsin  
If you've seen the first one, this one is also better. When you start to watch it you cannot stop and he knows very good how to make you laugh. It's a perfect movie to spend the time in family and to have fun.

5 of 5 Aces High Monday, August 23, 1999
Buster Highman from Portland Oregon  
Jim Carrey proves again he's the man when it comes to comedy. Ventura proves to be a winner with Carrey behind the wheel. He takes us on a high speed adventure to fun and laughter, and leaves all other so called comedies to shame in his wake. See this movie tonight.
