Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The 1994 box-office hit that turned comedy maniac Jim Carrey into Hollywood's first $20-million man, this gag-filled no-brainer stars Carrey as the titular rubber-faced gumshoe who tracks down lost pets for his heartbroken clients. Ace's latest case involves the apparent kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' team mascot, Snowflake the dolphin (natch). His investigation is a source of constant aggravation for Miami police lieutenant Lois Einhorn (Sean Young), who turns out to be packing more than a pistol under her skirt. Friends fans will appreciate the presence of Courtney Cox, who remains admirably straight-faced as the Dolphins' publicist and Ace's would-be girlfriend, but of course it's Carrey who steals the show with shameless abandon. One viewing may suffice for a lot of people, but Carrey's hyper antics have made Ace Ventura: Pet Detective one of the bestselling videos of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but I'd like a director's cut, please!!! September 21, 2005
Format:DVD
Ace Ventura, for the most part, is a perfect vehicle for Jim Carrey. I was pleased with the film the first time I saw it. I have, however, seen it on network TV, and have found out that there are many more scenes present in the TV version not shown on the DVD. These scenes not only make the film better, but also more undestandable.

If at all possible, could we see a WIDESCREEN EXTENDED CUT, Mr. Shadyac???

Thank you very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jim Carrey Hits a Home Run of Comedy with "Ace" August 21, 2005
Format:DVD
"Ace Ventura - Pet Detective" is a vehicle that is tailor-made for the comedy genuis of Jim Carrey. In his first major comedy, Carrey absolutely carries this picture on top of his broad and very funny shoulders! Carrey will tickle your funny bone in this riotous picture.

Carrey plays "Ace" a pet detective, who gets involved in solving the missing case of a dolphin from the Miami Dolphin's training camp. Co-starring the gorgeous Courtney Cox and believe it or not, Dan Marino, the plot has so many funny moments that I cannot begin to list them all. The jokes fly at you about every second minute, so if you don't like one, just wait for the next! I guarantee you will laugh out loud several times and give your tummy muscles a good workout in doing so.

Carry is a genius in facial expressions that will tie your funny bone in knots. His physical comedy ranks with that of Lucille Ball. Carry establishes his comedic "star" in this flick.

If you want to relax and take your mind off your worries and just laugh out loud, then this is the film for you! I highly recommend it! It is easily in my top-10 comedies of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great pick-me-up movie! June 23, 1999
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
I wasn't a Jim Carey fan, I never watched "In Living Color," and I had low expectations of the movie when I rented it one Saturday night. What a surprise! It is now my FAVORITE movie! It's humor is down right silly, but not like "Airplane" or "Naked Gun" - it's not as predictable as those movies and the plot is not as thin. Although Jim Carey "makes" the movie, it is not soley dependant on his silly faces and crazy, energetic acting. The story and witty dialogue make it a hit! Everytime I watch it, I catch a new joke I never noticed before.. If you liked the craziness of "Liar,Liar," but want something a little more "mature" then "Dumb and Dumber," YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wacked and hard to believe....but funny
Carrey is way over the top, his relationships with the female characters are hard to believe, the whole premise and plot are hard to believe...but it's still very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ace Venture: Pet Detective - Jim Carey classic
I think it's hilarious. Most importantly, it keeps my kids quiet!

You will like this movie ONLY if you like Jim Carey. Just a forewarning.
