Amazon.com video review:
The 1994 box-office hit that turned comedy maniac Jim Carrey
into Hollywood's first $20-million man, this gag-filled no-brainer
stars Carrey as the titular rubber-faced gumshoe who tracks down lost
pets for his heartbroken clients. Ace's latest case involves the
apparent kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' team mascot, Snowflake the
dolphin (natch). His investigation is a source of constant aggravation
for Miami police lieutenant Lois Einhorn (Sean Young), who turns out
to be packing more than a pistol under her skirt. Friends fans
will appreciate the presence of Courtney Cox, who remains admirably
straight-faced as the Dolphins' publicist and Ace's would-be
girlfriend, but of course it's Carrey who steals the show with
shameless abandon. One viewing may suffice for a lot of people, but
Carrey's hyper antics have made Ace Ventura: Pet Detective one
of the bestselling videos of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon
