Synopsis

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. —Warner Home Video

I like Jim Carrey in serious films but I think he is not funny at all

For a formula driven comedy w/ misogynistic shades, blown out performances & a love of classic gags, it's still fun to watch.

The reason I'm in this business. If I didn't watch this movie I wouldn't be interested in acting nor film making.

I can't decide between Courtney Cox as Melissa or Felicity Huffman in Transamerica as the worst representation of a pre-op transexual in cinema (and there is a lot to choose from). They're both extremely offensive not only because they are derogative but also cause they come from the imagination of imbeciles.

    Aren't you thinking of the Lois character? Cox didn't play a transsexual in this... whoever played her was forgettable, and you are right... both are terrible. This film is especially homophobic as well, and some how I found myself watching this a number of times as a kid.

    That's true, I did have trouble finding the actress' name because I haven't seen it in a while. But yes, I saw it multiple times as well on cable and it was horrifying then as well. Don't think I'm waging some ideological war against Jim Carrey I love how expressive he is, but using the stereotype of a transgender as a villain is beyond stupid ESPECIALLY when there is anti-gay bigotry hidden in subtext.
