Ace Ventura: Un Detective Diferente

This movie was funny! This is not high brow humor but if you are looking for something crazy and funny with immature humor, this is one of the best. This is Jim Carrey at his best...being wild and crazy.

After about 10 years of acting, Jim Carrey (Once Bitten, In Living Color) finally scored his first big hit with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Ace Ventura is a detective who specializes in cases involving missing animals.

It's Superbowl time and the Miami Dolphins mascot has been abducted. There's only one man who's fit for the job. The unorthodox, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is the man for the job. His methods are bizarre and crude.

This is an amusing film if goofy humor doesn't put you off. Some of the humor is probably pretty offense to some people these days, but it's a movie and it's okay to laugh.

Ace Ventura made Jim Carrey into a big star. 1994 was a good year for him, with The Mask and Dumb and Dumber also coming out that year and both of them being big hits as well.

Besides Mr. Carrey, the cast includes Udo Kier, Tone Loc (Surf Ninjas), Sean Young (Blade Runner, Love Crimes), Courtney Cox (Scream, Friends), Randall "Tex" Cobb (Police Academy 4, Ernest Goes to Jail) and Noble Willingham (Walker Texas Ranger).

If you're looking for a really goofy fun movie you can't go wrong with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Now, these movies can't be taken too seriously. The storyline is silly, the dialog is silly and the concept is silly, with one extraordinary exception: Jim Carrey, who, in contrast, uses his extremely intelligent wit and hugely humorous body actions to make this movie what it is, hilarious.

The fact is, this mans arguably a genius, he made a possibly average, run-of-the-mill, 'straight to TV' comedy into an all-time classic. You can switch your brain off and literally laugh yourself to tears watching the scenes in which he acts in. He CARRIES this movie, no doubt and his performance in this is extremely underrated. Being one of his first major roles and to actually manage to single-handedly make this movie what it is with his sheer brilliance at being a comedian-actor, well, it should not be overlooked.

But of course, it has it's flaws. The fact is, the scenes without Carrey (Albeit, they're not many of them) really just shows this movie doesn't have much else going for it besides the man himself. Many of the other actors/actresses (Including Courtney Cox) just aren't funny. But this movie, in my opinion, deserves an 8, because it's just really showcasing Jim Carreys excellence. Watch it and believe me, you'll get hooked!

A comedy that refrains from nothing.

The film is entertaining, and Jim Carrey plays Ace Ventura, a pet detective, a bizarre character that only Jim Carrey can play. This is a typical comedy from that time, which wants only to make the viewer laugh and not burden him with unnecessary things.

Here we have some really hilarious characters, who make this movie so much fun. The film doesn't hold back from anything, and Jim Carrey works great in such an environment.

This is how the comedy looks without the restrictions imposed by today's production. Comedy is there to entertain the viewer and give him an escape from reality.

Jim Carrey works great in this somewhat bizarre film, and the other characters are just as funny, and the situations they find themselves in are bizarre and hilarious. Some parts are particularly funny and Jim Carrey manages to make the viewer laugh with his facial expressions and gestures that fit this type of film perfectly.

Today this film probably could not have been made. Bizarre characters, hilarious situations and the atmosphere from the nineties make this comedy irresistible and give it a charm that today's comedies do not have.

A comedy that wants to entertain the viewer and succeeds at it.

While his later films are good, Ace Ventura is the best of all. Jim Carrey brings his now famous style of acting to the screen. Ace is the kind of guy who you never know what he's going to do next, and that is what makes him so funny. The plot is not the best one out there and the actors in this one are not the best, but this movie is not for intelligent plots and famous actors. It's a whacky comedy that made Jim Carrey a star. The movie is not bad, not at all. Why people think that is just odd and strange. Guess there is no appreciation for good movies these days.
