To be a Pet Detective, you have to understand both the criminals and animals. Ace Ventura goes even further... He behaves like a criminal animal. When a football team's mascot (a dolphin) is stolen just before the Superbowl, Ace Ventura is put on the case. Now, who would want to steal a dolphin, and why?

🕵🏻‍♂️🦜🦎🐾🦝🐢🐇🐕 I remember loving this film as a kid and into my teenager years. The craziness, the toilet humour, the sexual innuendo - everything a teenager could want! But truth be told, my appreciation of Jim Carrey has wained over the years. Maybe I'm more mature, maybe I've seen funnier actors I don't know... But I saw a double Blu-ray set with When Nature Calls recently so thought I'd give it a go. The film isn't as crazy as I remember which is actually a good thing - it was still absurd but it was smartly done and the craziness was second to the story. One of my favourite scenes was the shark tank, where Carrey as Ventura thinks he has found the kidnapped dolphin but instead tangles with a shark. It's funny but also a bit of a fright. Final Verdict: A perfect vehicle to showcase Carrey's talents. It's not my favourite Carrey film but it's enjoyable and has some smart jokes and a decent amount of mystery. The actual laughs arn't as big as what you will find in the sequel but overall it's a better film
