LIKE A GLOVE !!!!!
When it comes toJim Carrey, I have found itis either people reallyhim or really dislike him - there is not a lot of room in between.
The way he delivers a funny line, his antics, and his many facial contortions
can be a little too much for some people to handle. But for me, I just can't seem to get enough. I have watched this movie more than 100 times and I'm not even close to being tired of it. It's not sophisticated humor at all, so just sit back, put your brain in neutral and enjoy the ride.
My enjoyment of the movie is alsoheightened by the fact nearly ever friend of minehas an appreciation for his movies. Whenever the topic of Carrey comes up, we can frequently be heard spouting quotes from one of his many hilarious performances. And it's not just a goofy line, it's the way he delivers them He has a level of energy and enthusiasm
you rarely get to see in comedy movies.
If you see all of the movies Jim Carrey
is making now, and you wonder where he had his movie making start, this is it. Jim Carrey is an animal lover who is a pet detective.
The story is interesting and full of laughs. It all starts out when the Miami Dolphins' mascot, Snowflake, is missing. Ace, played by Jim Carrey
, is hired by the Dolphins to find Snowflake. Along the way, Dan Marino is abducted and a sinister plot by a former Dolphin is revealed by Ace.
This is a hilarious movie with a gr8 cast. This movie compares to most of Carrey's other movies with the type of humor he uses. If you like Ace Ventura
:Pet Detective, you will probably like most other Jim Carrey movies.. I'm not a fan of slapstick style comedy, it usually annoys me..But try as I might, Ace Ventura wears you down as only Jim Carey can and makes your sides ache.. The plot is practically irrelevant.. And one can't help but chuckle at the realization the Jim Carey even upstages the plot, but it's a fact..Every utterance becomes a quotable and every scene threatens to split a seam as you breathlessly are subjected to Jim Carey as Ace Ventura...a mad man comic unleashed....
For posterity's sake, I'll acknowledge that the plot is based on a mystery. Someone has kidnapped the mascot of a football team (Miami Dolphins) and it's up to Ace to crack the case. But the plot truly takes a back seat to the energetic flailings and wise-cracks
of your films star. The perfect pick-me-up for a rotten day, this films bound to cheer you.
First of all, IJim Carey. The man is an absolute genius. Yeah, I know he didn't write the movie or the script or any of that but his ability to become different characters and act is incredible He is just about the only actor other than Adam Sandler
that has the ability to make me laugh out loud. Im the type of person that doesn't like to pay money to go to the movies and CRY I like to go and pay to laugh and laugh and laugh.
I like to laugh so much there are tears coming out of my eyes. Jim Carey
has just that effect on me.
Not to mention my love of animals, this movie is perfect !! Some people can't appreciate Jim Carey type of humor
but I think it is the greatest. He isso spontaneousand I really " feel
" that he enjoys what he does when he is acting. His ability makes me feel as if he is a real person. There probably really ARE people in the world like him ( scary thought, lol
)
The first time I ever rented this movie, I had just had knee surgery on both of my knees. I was unable to do very much other than sit on the couch for a week. I watched this movie at least 6 times that week. It always made me feel better and I found there were parts I hadn't laughed at when I had watched it the time before.
I now own my own copy of Ace Ventura Pet Detective
and whenever I need a pick me up or just feel like having a good belly laugh, I pop into the VCR. The best thing
about the movie is you will enjoy it whether you watch it alone or with others. Although, Ito watch it with people that haven't ever seen it before, just seeing them enjoy first hand makes it all the more enjoyable.
Jim Carrey is absolutely not for everyone.
But for Carrey fans, this movie is probably the most hilarious one he has ever made. There are so many funny things he does and gr8 lines he has that it's really non-stop from start to finish.
Perhaps a reason why some people really don't like his antics -not much time to digest one goofy scene before he's onto the next. If you are a Carrey fan, here are a few of my other favorites: The Mask, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (not nearly as funny as the original, but not bad), Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar, and any In Living Color skit featuring him.
I don't see anything wrong with this movie at all. It is the perfect combination of comedy and action !!! I would recommend this movie to anyone that is looking for some fun !!!!!
