Love Jim Carey
Without Jim Carey this movie would be 2 stars at best, worth it just to see him in his element. A classic with some good laughs.

Missing Dolphin Trainer Scene
Disappointed the scene where Ace pretends to be the dolphin trainer was left out, other than that, it's a classic comedy.

what a comedy should be
Pet detective Ace Ventura (Carrey) is assigned to track down Snowflake,the mascot of football team The Dolphins before the Superbowl.Jim Carrey, the man. Whether you love him or hate him you cannot denyhis comic talent. In this 1994 crime comedy he plays a smart crazy petdetective who has the best catchphrases of any character, of anycomedy, of any film, of anyone, ever.Opening with a delivery man kicking a package and destroying it withevery step he takes and you feel as if you know this person and yousimply have to love him for it. His character never slackens, alwaysentertains and gets funnier with every scene. He is a comic master andhe is this film.Carrey's performance does take the shine off a well written plot. Thescript is a great incentive for Ventura to be wacky and spontaneous.The pursuit of a missing dolphin is interesting, if not quite asintense as it should be. We see Ventura using his 'skill' and his'charm' to give the older viewers plenty of laughs where the slapstickmoments are undoubtedly aimed towards younger generations, howeveryears on it is still as funny as when I was young. The sarcastic yetsophisticated undertones still remain classic.Flowing all the way through, this nineties comedy follows the maddetective in an intriguing investigation. There are lapses in themajority of modern comedies where the stereotypical hero has to redeemhimself to find the answer and everything is super come the final piecebut there are many twists and turns and a difference in the comicformulaic style here which gives the film a uniqueness that requiredCarrey's special touch. No clichés, stereotypes or cringing romancesequences that don't shine off the plot, unless you count the atrociousmade for money sequel.The supporting cast are good enough to add some extra laughs but theyare always standing in Carrey's superior shadow.Sharp, witty and exceptionally funny, Ace Ventura: Pet Detectivejustifies the genre and is worth watching whatever age you may be.9/10

Bon film, mais son étrange
En français le son était comme assourdit. Excellent film, mais le mauvais son dérangeait un peu.

Additional footage included
I'm surprise of the people complaining about the missing additional footage, the hilarious scene where Ace pretend to be a dolphin trainer is in the movie, the scene sadly missing from the widescreen DVD.It was alson an opportunity to listen again the Quebec french dub with Marc Labreche that I havn't seen in years since it was not on that same DVD. I usually prefer to watch a movie in it's original version but I'm nostalgic of this old dub and it's great to have the choice.
