Review of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) by Judy H — 05 Jan 2013
Jim Carrey stars as a private eye specialized in cases involving animals who is assigned to investigate the kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' mascot as well as the disappearance of some key team players including Dan Marino.
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is occasionally funny at times mostly thanks to Jim Carrey's insane, goofy antics. However, the film as a whole is a missed opportunity to really satirize pet detection especially considering that this is basically more of a satire on football instead.
This film also could have been better if its supporting players were as fully realized as the pet detective and if the picture didn't lose its way in the second half.
