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. 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 made Ace Ventura: Pet Detective one of the bestselling videos of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
Product Description
Eccentric pet detective Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) is hired by the beautiful Melissa (Courteney Cox), board member of the Miami Dolphins, to discover the whereabouts of the team's missing mascot, a dolphin called Snowflake. With only a week to go before the Superbowl, Ace's investigations lead him to suspect a transsexual ex-Dolphins player of kidnapping the fish.

I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting guys out there. I think he did not play the role of Andy Kauffman for nothing in the "Man on the Moon", he is truly a talent not accounted for as much as he deserves in life. The movie seems off this world if you cant follow, but once you are ready to take it as it comes, it is a wonderul comedy and clearly a clever detective movie. I am serious... And so is this movie about being funny.

Another 90's classic, and probably the film that made Jim Carrey a star, Ace Ventura is an absolute classic, and seems to be a film many of us watched when we were teens. An ecentric Jim Carrey plays a private-hire 'Pet Detective', who's main concern is capturing a rare dove that, once he has recieved the reward, can pay his landlord! However, he is called up to action when the local football teams mascott - a dolphin, is kidnapped.
Admittedly, Jim Carrey has always recieved mixed reviews based on his style of humour, but that is no reason mark down a film because of the style of an actor. His immature, yet powerful humour is still laugh out loud at times, and people forget just how much of a good serious actor he is too, as displayed in other films.
But, if your looking for a fun and still clever 'pet' detective film (of which you'll find very few!) then this is the DVD you want to buy!

I'm 13 years old and this is still my favourite ever film!!!! I regularly quote Jim Carrey at random times and my family are, well, let's just say, not always amused! My dad in particular is fed up of hearing 'Like a glove!' and 'Loo-hoo-ser-her!'
BEST FILM EVER! I can't believe it's from 1994 though - that's before I was even born! Even though it's old, Ace Ventura is hilarious and will be enjoyed widely! I loved it when I was only 7 years old and it's rated a 12!

This movie is an okay movie if you're looking for a film with a lot of immature humor. Carey is one of the best, when it comes to physical comedy. Read more
