ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE
AH and we come to Ace Ventura one of the stupidest, funniest characters of all time. His slapstick style of humor and ridiculous habits make him unique. Jim Carrey was a young actor fresh off of In Living Color and his career seemingly ready to jump start, takes this character and makes him into a household name. Made in 1994 the movie centered around Ace who is a pet detective. He is sent out to find animals and return them to their rightful owners. He is on a quest to find a rare bird that’s worth a lot of money when the Miami Dolphins hire him to find out what happened to their dolphin Snowflake. From the mid 90’s on this movie has had kids talking out of their butt and saying things like Alrighty Then. This guy is an ICON. Two movies later Ace Ventura lives on in the heart and soul of all the kids who want to be funny.
You can certainly make a case for Ace Ventura being one of the best characters of all time. Well at least according to my criteria. This is Jim Carrey’s best work and I hope he returns to form and makes another Ace Ventura movie. Til Next time
