let it be know that jim carrey be a comic madman . he may not be the smart cat on the stage and but there no question that his act and especially in ace ventura represent pet detective and be the real deal . director tom shadyac saw fit to put the man with the rubber face and later the man on the moon and in his own starring vehicle with this comedy hit from 1994. i have never laugh so hard in my life while that be from the first time i saw it . i saw shaun of the dead 10 year after carrey vehicle while that be another time when i laugh myself silly . sure and the humor be immature from time to time . but that part of carrey act and a the colorful gumshoe of the title and who take on the case of retrieve the miami dolphins prize mascot and snowflake and after it steal from it tank one night . of course and a the title would lead you to believe and ace ventura be no ordinary detective . i do not do human and he assert to u . his specialty be pet . it hard out there for pet detective and since it a field that nobody take too seriously and except ace and that be . so when he get the call for duty and he all over the case . his investigation pair him with melissa robinson ( friends courteney cox ) and and the two uncover some startling detail about the miami team history and and one of it most controversial player and who miss the field goal kick at the 1984 super bowl that would have win the game and blame dan marino for the whole thing . that player hasn not be see since . meanwhile and ace run afoul of miami police department lieutenant lois einhorn ( sean young ) and who seriously need to take a chill pill and be hide something more than just a gun under her skirt . ace ventura represent pet detective be a comic tour de force . of course carrey have do plenty of good thing since this flick and but for commercial purpose and so let just leave that in the future . ace ventura be something that only he could have do and and make it work . sure his method be unusual and but hey and he get the job do . i wonder if this flick help to spark interest in a new law enforcement field . positive .
