Editorial 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
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective [Region 2] Reviews:
Hysterical humor, but not complete! 
2009-08-31 - I would give this movie the 5 stars it deserves just for the Hilarity alone, but for some reason, the Mosh Pit scene isn't in this version of the movie! That's one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie! What a shame that the "Powers That Be" cut it from this version! Rotten trick. Hopefully they will come out with the COMPLETE version on DVD soon. They'd have had to drug me to the gills to keep me from laughing if I were acting opposite Jim Carrey. I'd STILL laugh!
movie 
2009-07-08 - The movie's great came in just in time no scratches of any kind nothing more or less.

Jim Carrey At His Comedic Peak 
2009-03-23 - Much like "Dumb and Dumber", which actually was released in the same year as this film, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" showcases the side-splitting humor of Jim Carrey at his comedic peak.
Though the basic plot has Carrey's pet detective "investigator" on the trail of a missing dolphin, it is the crazy plot twists (much like "Dumber") that make this film so hilarious. From the opening credits, where delivering a simple package turns into an adventure, to the hunt for a missing Super Bowl ring, and finally to the hilarious jaunt through a mental institution (where Carrey must "play" a potential patient), pretty much every scene in the film will have you laughing out loud. Plus, with each viewing, you will find a different hilarious scene that you may have overlooked before.
Of course, it truly is the physical comedy style of Carrey that puts this movie in my top-three comedies of all-time. Where some films just have to rely on good jokes to be funny, this one combines those great jokes with Carrey's ability to make every single scene an exercise in hilarity. The guy must have a face made out of rubber, as he can transform/contort it to meet every emotion known to mankind. On a few occasions, when the actual intended joke may fall flat, Carrey's facial/bodily reactions will still render it hilarious.
Thus, this film is a must-own for pretty much everyone, but especially those who appreciate Carrey's style of comedy. Let's just say it will fit you "like a glove", while rendering the competition "La-Hoo, Sa-Hers!"
