jim carrey and in his first film star role after achieve genuine stardom be the token white guy on tv in live colour and play the title character and who be hire by employee of the miami dolphins football team to locate and retrieve snowflake the dolphin and the beloved mascot of the team . i really laugh hard when i go to see this in theatre ten year ago and and while i be smart enough to know how crude and silly and and infantile the movie itself really be and i can not deny that i still laugh a lot . that be thanks in no small part to carrey and who play the role in all his manic and face making and body contort glory . carrey manage to be always funny in this role and he single handedly manage to save the film from what might have be a disaster with a less talented comedic actor in the lead . a in liar and liar ( which re team carrey with ace director tom shadyac ) everybody else be the straight man . there be no other funny role . ( then again and that seem to have be the pattern for most of carrey comedy and hasn not it . ) sean young ( in what turn out to be kind of an embarrassing role ) and courteney cox both look great and there be some familiar face in the support cast . some of the real life miami dolphins at the time appear on screen and include coach don shula and quarterback dan marino . network tv airing include a few minute of footage not include on video and ( i assume ) dvd version . this footage actually slow down the film and i can see why it wouldn not have make the theatrical cut . you really love animal and do not you . if it get cold enough . positive .
