Jim Carrey is Ace Ventura, the noted Miami pet detective. When Snowflake, the mascot of the Miami Dolphins football team, is kidnapped, Ace is called to the job. In a cascade of foolhardy blunders and semi-decent detective work, Ace attempts to track down the missing aquatic creature.

Far from it. Carrey's talent proved far more enduring as he bounced back immediately when he re-teamed with Ace Ventura director Tom Shadyac for Liar, Liar. Here he played Fletcher Reede, a lawyer who lies in court, lies to his wife and lies to his young son, disappointing them both constantly. However, when the boy's birthday wish is that this situation change, Carrey finds himself unable to fib for a full 24 hours, casting his life into total confusion. Having had sex with his dominating boss Amanda Donohoe, he's asked how was it for him, "I've had better" jumping from his mouth before he can stop it. Then there's trouble in court as this new truth-telling destroys his defence of an hilariously adulterous Jennifer Tilly.

"Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" (1994) stars Jim Carrey as a goofy gumshoe who specializes in tracking down critters of all sorts. When Snowflake, the mascot of the Miami Dolphins, is swiped, Ace goes to work, using his detective "talents" to save the day. Courteney Cox, Sean Young and Dan Marino ... star. Next, Carrey's Ace Ventura is back, big hair and all, this time taking his pet sleuthing expertise to Africa, where he's in search of a sacred white bat being fought over by rival tribes. Ian McNeice, Simon Callow, and Maynard Eziashi also star in "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" (1995), a wild romp filled with the sort of hilarity you can get "Carrey"-ed away with. 181 min. total on two discs.
