Ace Ventura: Pet Detective [Blu-ray] [1994] [US Import]

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 deny his comic talent. In this 1994 crime comedy he plays a smart crazy pet detective who has the best catchphrases of any character, of any comedy, of any film, of anyone, ever. Opening with a delivery man kicking a package and destroying it with every step he takes and you feel as if you know this person and you simply have to love him for it. His character never slackens, always entertains and gets funnier with every scene. He is a comic master and he is this film. Carrey's performance does take the shine off a well written plot. The script is a great incentive for Ventura to be wacky and spontaneous. The pursuit of a missing dolphin is interesting, if not quite as intense as it should be. We see Ventura using his 'skill' and his 'charm' to give the older viewers plenty of laughs where the slapstick moments are undoubtedly aimed towards younger generations, however years on it is still as funny as when I was young. The sarcastic yet sophisticated undertones still remain classic. Flowing all the way through, this nineties comedy follows the mad detective in an intriguing investigation. There are lapses in the majority of modern comedies where the stereotypical hero has to redeem himself to find the answer and everything is super come the final piece but there are many twists and turns and a difference in the comic formulaic style here which gives the film a uniqueness that required Carrey's special touch. No clichés, stereotypes or cringing romance sequences that don't shine off the plot, unless you count the atrocious made for money sequel. The supporting cast are good enough to add some extra laughs but they are always standing in Carrey's superior shadow. Sharp, witty and exceptionally funny, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective justifies the genre and is worth watching whatever age you may be. 9/10

I've seen Ace Ventura when nature calls many times and watched the entire cartoon series as a kid, but I don't recall in having seen this film so I went ahead and bought it. This is a great film, and I think is a typical Jim Carrey character in the way he acts, his manerisms etc. and that's what I love about his movies. There is a genuine story line in this and I think the film and Jim Carrey to a good job at sticking to it and making it obvious with what's going on. There's also many funny moments which don't feel like they've aged too badly. Definitely worth watching.

Short, but funny film, obviously with Jim Carey starring, it would be. Bit dated content. Good price with fast delivery. Would recommend this seller. Item was new.

Love this film jim carrey is a legend grew up watching this film and is still funny as hell 👌

Transphobic! Sexist. So, so bad.

Jim Carrey is very funny in this film, still as amusing as when I first watched it. He puts all his energy into his performance and although he is not everyone's taste, he is very entertaining.

My kids aged 14 and 15 first saw this years ago and really loved it, so I've got us a copy to watch together. As they get older there are fewer and fewer films they will willingly watch with us old parents so I'm delighted to be looking forward to it. Having just seen Carrey unrecognisable as 'Stars & Stripes' in Kick Ass 2, I am in awe of his unique talent.

Where do I begin? Ace is just so hilarious, every second that he appears on the screen should have you laughing out loud. The storyline is full of brilliant twists, the jokes are stupid enough to be satisfying to nearly anyone with a decent sense of humour, and Jim Carrey provides his usual mad antics and stupidity that really make this film such a great laugh. What more could you really want?

Pd: la pelicula no tiene la voz del doblador típico de Jim Carrey porque no la doblo el, por si alguien se cree que ha sido redoblada o algo, pero la voz no desmerece en nada a la habitual.

Alles super!

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.

Encantada! Un clásico que ya no venden en DVD, y en perfecto estado en Blu-ray! Muy recomendable de verdad! Si os gustan las películas de Jim Carrey... Cogerla!
