merelyaninnuendo Ace Ventura: Pet DetectiveThere is some content in there and bits of comic scenes but it doesn't quite mix up even though Jim puts his heart into it.
Wuchak Released in 1994, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" stars Jim Carrey as the titular detective investing the case of the Miami Dolphins' missing mascot. Courteney Cox plays Ace's girlfriend while Sean Young plays the chief of police who's at odds with Ventura. Dan Marino plays himself.I rank this with my all-time favorite movies simply because Jim Carrey's outrageous goofiness makes me laugh so much. And isn't that the ultimate purpose of a comedy? A great example is when Ace mimics speaking to a dolphin as he addresses snooping reporters. The second half isn't as funny, but it remains compelling as Ventura zeroes-in on the culprit. There are a couple of vulgar scenes that I could do without, but otherwise this is a great comedy where Carrey and the other filmmakers went all-out to entertain and succeeded with spades.The movie runs 86 minutes and was shot in Miami and Virginia Key, Florida.GRADE: A
Giallo Fanatic I loved this movie a lot as a kid, I still love it but not as much as I used to. It is one of those comedies that are worth watching over and over again. I thought I would get tired of the silly jokes and its silliness, but it still makes me laugh, it even still gives me tears of laughter. The movie itself is crap and would have fitted better as a cartoon material, but it is because of Jim Carrey the movie is so fun to watch. I just simply can't imagine another actor do what Jim Carrey did in this movie. I find it impossible to find another actor who can imitate him and still not overact. Jim Carrey was unbelievably enough a natural. There is a comedian in Greenland who imitate Jim Carrey, but he is just simply silly and not fun. Some Greenlanders even refer to him as "The Greenlandic Jim Carrey".But anyway, it is such a silly comedy that it can get unbearable to watch sometimes where it borders on just being silly instead of fun. But Jim Carrey made the movie fun. Courteney Cox was good too, but she was kind of overshadowed by Jim Carrey in this movie. But they both made the movie watchable, even though it had such a cartoon-ish approach. It is campy and childish and it seems like a 10 year-old directed the movie (not to insult the director, he actually did a good job considering the material). It is one of those movies that would have failed completely but it turned into a comedy which has loyal fans and, I am one of them.I give the movie 7/10.
Vivian Kong As a binge movie watcher and a huge, huge Jim Carrey fan, this is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Jim Carrey maintains his humorous, perverted, rubbery face self, with this movie highlighting all of it to full extent.So basically, this movie features the amazing Jim Carrey as an extremely sassy pet detective (a person who finds People's animals and pets) with super hair and a Hawaiian shirt. Extremely promising beginning and a blast of laughs the whole way through. It gives you the "the character's a jerk, but I'll still root for him because he's awesome" feeling because throughout the film he does upset quite a number of people, but makes even more people, including you and I happy and full of laughs.Many find this movie to be a classic cheesy football comedy, and technically it is, but it is packed with stupid jokes we all need once in a while, it's like a classic version of iFunny in a movie, very entertaining. Personally I've seen it a dozen times and whether I get a lousy grade or a close family member dies, it can always knock 1 hr 26 mins of sadness outta my day, and provide me with unlimited laughs after wards and also at all time (even if we're trying to take a test and I do burst out in laughter for no absolute reason at all) WARNING: I'm still stuck replying "alrighty then" to everything, but it truly is worth the watch multiple times, a very fun group movie for a small party with friends to a fancy business movie party. Maybe it's just because I'm a Carrey fan, but I think it's quite a masterpiece.
