Plot: 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). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Hysterical humor, but not complete!
Added 8/31/2009

I would give this movie the 5 stars it deserves just for the Hilarity alone, but for some reason, the Mosh Pit scene isn't in this version of the movie! That's one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie! What a shame that the "Powers That Be" cut it from this version! Rotten trick. Hopefully they will come out with the COMPLETE version on DVD soon. They'd have had to drug me to the gills to keep me from laughing if I were acting opposite Jim Carrey. I'd STILL laugh!

Jim Carrey At His Comedic Peak
Added 3/23/2009

Much like "Dumb and Dumber", which actually was released in the same year as this film, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" showcases the side-splitting humor of Jim Carrey at his comedic peak.

Though the basic plot has Carrey's pet detective "investigator" on the trail of a missing dolphin, it is the crazy plot twists (much like "Dumber") that make this film so hilarious. From the opening credits, where delivering a simple package turns into an adventure, to the hunt for a missing Super Bowl ring, and finally to the hilarious jaunt through a mental institution (where Carrey must "play" a potential patient), pretty much every scene in the film will have you laughing out loud. Plus, with each viewing, you will find a different hilarious scene that you may have overlooked before.

Of course, it truly is the physical comedy style of Carrey that puts this movie in my top-three comedies of all-time. Where some films just have to rely on good jokes to be funny, this one combines those great jokes with Carrey's ability to make every single scene an exercise in hilarity. The guy must have a face made out of rubber, as he can transform/contort it to meet every emotion known to mankind. On a few occasions, when the actual intended joke may fall flat, Carrey's facial/bodily reactions will still render it hilarious.

Thus, this film is a must-own for pretty much everyone, but especially those who appreciate Carrey's style of comedy. Let's just say it will fit you "like a glove", while rendering the competition "La-Hoo, Sa-Hers!"
