What's the movie about?
Ace (Jim Carrey) is an unusual private detective specializing in animal hunting. When the soccer team's mascot dolphin disappears shortly before the Super Bowl, Ace is hired to find the thief.
Why watch?
The role of Ventura, a kind of modern Doctor Doolittle in half with Frank Drebin from the “Hologo Gun”, became for the rubber-faced comedian Kerry a ticket to the highest Hollywood echelon, and the fuel of box office success was enough for the actor already for four more films, including the rather careless sequel to “Ace” in 1995. A success story of unprecedented scale even by Hollywood standards - in just two years, the comedian's fees jumped from $ 350,000 to $ 20 million (for "Cable Man"), which is still an unbeaten record to this day.
This movie did not become revolutionary for the genre of comedy, because from the point of view of the plot or directing, everything here is at a decent level of quality, but no more. But in terms of acting, it was a breakthrough, and the main credit belongs to Jim Carrey. He created a cult screen image - a cheeky moron in rusty-eyed shirts (cosplays Tony Montana?) with an ever-hot grin, a huge hairstyle and cartoon plastic, but with an amazing skill of collecting microscopic details, perseverance in achieving goals and sympathy for all God's creatures (except man). All of Ace’s actions are intentionally exaggerated and border on madness, but this character never goes into the category of tedious (although he does it in the sequel).
Despite the abundance of hysterically funny scenes, such as a complex scheme of penetration into a psychiatric hospital or the defeat of a chic party organized by Udo Kir,
The film is essentially a one-man show, so your final attitude to this comedy will depend on your attitude to the curvatures and crunches of the actor depicted on the poster.
For me, Jim Carrey will long remain a master of compressions and jumps, an actor of facial expressions and intonation. All the tapes with him must be seen from the beginning in the original, at least to enjoy his acting. Not everyone will understand, but many will remember. Ace Ventura stayed out there for a long time as a kid. I remember one of the Saturdays when I turned on Ren-TV. And there's a guy in a Hawaiian shirt sneaking along the cars. A new acquaintance with the tape was carried out immediately and now I am ready to share with you my impressions of what I saw and some thoughts on this film. Cool drinks are still relevant, we begin our review.
A narrative criterion or narrative. Detective Ace Ventura is always on guard, performing work on the search for various animals: from pugs to dolphins. The search for the latter turns into a grandiose villainous plan and a mystery of complexity hitherto unseen by the main character. In fact, this is all fiction and the plot here again hits on simplicity and is not twisted. Cinema is never intellectual, it is also more about genre parody. And the genre of detective, thriller and action movie fell under the rink, although there are never shots from weapons. The character of the main character in itself is a source of strong humor. At the heart of humor is the absurdity and reaction of the protagonist, more gag than intellectual. But there is also a message here. We should learn from our smaller brothers the ability to rely on intuition, direct perception of the world and peace of mind. The film is not strong with its literary part, but it is good that the film has a positive idea.
Visual criterion or technical support of the tape. Here we will talk about the methods of creating an atmosphere. The cameraman works well with the camera, filling the frame not only with acting, but also with beautiful backgrounds, whether it is a swimming pool or a view of the city. It is also nice that the appearance of the titles worked, they do not look just average letters and are decorated in the form of imitation of representatives of the animal world. Also note the musical accompaniment and compositional work of Ira Newborn, each theme perfectly fits into the atmosphere of monkey grimaces and stupid jokes in the frame of an easy detective investigation. Nature views are good for dextop design, and some melodies are worthy of becoming visitors to your music collections.
Acting work deserves a positive assessment. Jim Carrey is shining here because it is his job here that is the main one. Each of his grimaces and grimaces work perfectly, revealing him not only as a comedian, but also as a plastic actor, able to embody a variety of emotions with one face. In our dubbing, he speaks in the voice of Vyacheslav Baranov and getting into the organics of Kerry with his mobile facial expressions is not an easy task. But the merger happened and the image was born. Of the secondary actors remembered Courtney Cox and Sean Young, perhaps the most memorable heroes of this story, both do not have to give a strong game, but the scripts in their respect presents amazing surprises. The actors behind the scenes also did a decent job, even Vladimir Vikhrov recorded one of the secondary roles here, in comedies he is also good.
One of Jim Carrey's best roles, that's where I discovered him as an actor. As a child, he laughed a lot at the hippo scene. From the point of view of value tape is not the most demanding. But it works great as an adventure comedy with humor. I recommend you if you are a fan of Jim Carrey and movies. All health, peace and good cinema.
Undoubtedly cult dilogy of adventures of Ace Ventura has prompted millions of viewers around the world once and for all to love the masterful comedian Jim Carrey, who for two films without respite amuses the attention of simple-minded moviegoers with crazy twists, sudden antics and uncontrollable compressions.
The first part of the story of adventures of the main defender of the boundless fauna of the planet Earth tells an energetic story about the detective investigation of the disappearance of a dolphin, which is the mascot of the local American football team. In the process of narration, Ace Ventura deftly passes through the foggy veil of tricks and tricks of the mysterious kidnapper and eventually achieves the desired success, denouncing a completely unexpected villain in the face of true justice.
It is worth noting that it was this picture that revealed the name of Jim Carrey, who, having consolidated his comedic success with such films as The Mask and Dumb and Dumber, quickly turned from a talented comedian and stand-up artist into a mega-polar film artist of the nineties. You can treat the tapes about Ace Ventura differently, call them frankly stupid and pseudo-comic, but you can hardly refrain from laughing or at least once not stretch out in the broadest smile at the sight of the face of Jim Carrey, who demonstrates here everything his freedom-loving humorous temper is capable of. Equal to him in the genre of film comedy over the past thirty years will be extremely difficult to find!
Of course, there are no friends in the taste and color, but it seems that the second part of the adventures of the detective zoologist turned out to be a little more interesting, primarily due to the transfer of the main actions of the plot to the African expanses of our wonderful planet. Nevertheless, the first film absolutely deserves due reverence of fans of the work of a delightful comedian for the above reasons. And yet it is a pity that we have only two films about a fair but reckless savior of the animal kingdom! .
As a result, Ace Ventura: Pet Search is a truly hilarious comedy-benefit of the incomparable Jim Carrey, which introduces the viewer to the boundless, literally inexhaustible humorous potential of one of the most popular actors of world cinema of the last three decades.
For me, Jim Carrey will long remain a master of compressions and jumps, an actor of facial expressions and intonation. All the tapes with him must be seen from the beginning in the original, at least to enjoy his acting. Not everyone will understand, but many will remember.

A great good comedy about the “animal” detective performed by the magnificent Jim Carrey.
It was this actor who gave Asa an absolutely unique charisma and charm, he infuriates everyone around him, but this is what causes laughs. What are these empty curves? Nope. It's a character. Character. Human. It would seem that he is just a joker, but at the same time he is a master of his craft.
He truly loves animals, even fanatically, and if he lived in our time, he probably would have a whole collection of NFT from IguVerse.
He is close to the viewer, because he is always in opposition to the vile and stupid servants of law and order, opposes high authorities, he hates and ridicules hypocrites, snobs, sycophants, rich people.
He is clearly smarter than anyone else in the film, and could certainly be a real detective, but he is too freedom-loving and uncompromising to accept the conditions of "ordinary" work and life. He is intelligent, kind and direct. And the viewer is ready to accept the hero as he is, because he has everything that a positive hero needs to fall in love with people.
And so Ventura, even many years later, occupies the first lines in the lists of the most iconic characters of American cinema, and films about him have become a real classic and a fresh wind of the 90s.
1994 was the year of the invasion of masterpieces in cinemas. Here and the triumph of Tarantino, and 'Forrest Gump' and the unsurpassed 'The Shawshank Escape' and the noble killer Leon, and the film about the worst director of all time Ed Wood, and animated Hamlet passions in the lion pride ... But much more this year was remembered as the year of Jim Carrey, because in one year with an interval of several months, 3 films came out, turning him into the highest-grossing, successful and famous comedian of the world screen - a major player in the Hollywood arena, who for a long time did not want to take this upstart for her.
Kerry rushed to the heights of fame not to say to the lowest. The reputation of a good comedian he made a dozen movie roles - and very good!, stand-up and show ' In live color ' where many of his characters were born, and has already become widely known bright, desperately eccentric, buffoon marquee game. He was already recognized as the best parody of America, but only ' Ace Ventura' brought him real recognition and launched ' the era of Jim Carrey'.
Comedy lovers were divided into two camps. Someone Kerry and his hero with a parrot whirlwind on the head, a bird's gait and a rubber face was sharply unpleasant. Someone hastened to talk about the coming of a new genius. What was Kerry doing? He very harshly exaggerated the classic American comedy in the style of the Marx brothers, and not so far gone from, for example, the first films of Steve Martin, such as ' The Asshole' and a descendant of the French eccentric Louis de Funes can be called.
Everything he did on screen seemed primitive, but there was a lot of work behind every joke. For like any good clown, every movement was thought out, every grimace meant something, and every gag was perfected and actionable! Critics did not immediately accept the new hero. Ace Ventura, like Jim Carrey, is a typical trickster, a kind of Loki (this theme Carrey will continue in ' The Mask'); a troublemaker, a jester, a Harlequin, who arranges a cheerful buffoon from each step. And this mess is certainly beyond decency. There was a lot in American comedy - there was an explosive Belushi, there was a douche Martin, there was a Murphy ball, there was a mess and a pogrom of the Marx brothers, but this was not so many in one person. It seemed over-the-top, over-excited, devoid of tact and taste, blasphemy and bullying. Short-sighted critics nominated Carrey for ' Golden Raspberry' predicting the imminent oblivion of the new star. But he was wrong. Jim Carrey's comedy proved to be tenacious - thanks to the seething energy, unusualness, diversity and irreplaceability of its author.
' Blame ' success ' Ventura' anyone can. Tom Shadyak, a director who has a great sense of the rhythm of comedy, is very flexible and loyal to Carrey’s ideas. A script that leaves room for gags and jokes. Actors who played perfectly in the ensemble, highlighting the main star. But if you look at the truth, that's Jim Carrey's success, completely and completely. And his responsibility. Had he failed, he would have been blamed for failure. Because the plot with a weak detective intrigue is not worth a fucked-up egg and it is difficult to even imagine how boring and sluggish he would be if he turned out to be the main star, for example, Stallone (and he was also offered a script). Directing is good as long as the director has where to direct a mighty dynamo named Jim Carrey, generating millions of volts of electricity. When Jim's not in the picture, it's just an average movie. Actors are good, but all they have to do is marvel at Kerry’s escapades.
It is he who picks up the picture from the abyss of mediocrity, he, rewriting the script for himself, creates a character who gets high from what he does and transmits his high to the viewer. Ace makes an incredible number of body movements and jumps, he is like a puppet with loose hinges, he infuriates everyone around him, but this is what causes laughter. What are these empty curves? Nope. It's a character. Character. Human. That's what makes Ventura look like. He's not just a joker. He is a master of his work - once, he sincerely loves animals - two, he is lonely and poor - three, and four, five and further on the list: he is close to the viewer, for he is always in opposition to the vile and stupid servants of law and order, he is an opponent of high authorities, he hates and ridicules hypocrites, snobs, sycophants, rich people. He is clearly smarter than anyone in the film, and certainly could have been a real detective, but too freedom-loving and uncompromising to the frame to accept the terms ' ordinary', work and life. He is intelligent, kind and direct. And the viewer is ready to accept the hero as he is, because he has everything that a positive hero needs to fall in love with people. And so Ventura, even many years later, occupies the first lines in the lists of the most iconic characters of American cinema, and films about him have become a real classic and a fresh wind of the 90s.
Humor ' ass-talking' Kerry isn't that simple. First, you need to have incredible ingenuity to come up with all these gags, and secondly, Kerry gives an endless series of parodies on a variety of characters from Captain Kirk to James Bond, many of which are available only to a very experienced Cinephile eye, and, although this film usually comes to us in childhood, all its taste can be tasted only superficially familiar with the American mass culture.
However, time decides anyway. And time has arranged everything so that critics, shouting about low-grade humor and senseless curves Kerry, long gone, as well as many publications that wrote about the film, and ' Ace Ventura: wanted pets' does not leave the lists of the most favorite comedies of the world, and the madness that creates on the screen Kerry, still impossible to take your eyes off.
Of course, you can not miss the excellent background – in particular, Sean Young, a good actress and a beautiful woman, for whom the role of Einhorn was a great risk, and Courtney Cox, who played the role of Ace’s girlfriend on one of her huge charms.
And yet, the main thing in this celebration is Jim. Carrey’s acting is included in the history of world cinema and remains in it primarily by the right of its amazing and unique originality. But it is this peculiarity – sometimes too noisy and insanity, however, allows us to open up people from role to role, thanks to which we are again and again convinced of the triumph of goodness, humor, freedom, the chance for losers, that good people will sooner or later get their own, and simply that life is beautiful. A'Ace Ventura' is certainly one of the brightest characters in the Kerry Gallery, to whom I come back again and again to laugh.

(About the 32nd minute of the film)
Ace Ventura: Search for Pets
It's been a while since I reviewed Jim Carrey's work. I noticed one interesting detail – you didn’t think that in this film there are few animals themselves, that is, they rarely appear. Yeah, there's an opening scene where Ace tries to get the dog back. Yes, there will be a few ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-oohh-ooh-oohhhh-oohhh-oohhh-oohhhh-oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The main storyline revolves around the disappearance of a dolphin.
But Ace Ventura really looks more like a comedy detective than an animal comedy. You don’t have to go far for an example, take the movie “Dr. Doolittle” with Eddie Murphy. Here in it animals are not pushed somewhere in the background, agree. I’m not saying that Ace Ventura is a bad movie, don’t think about it.
No, he's cool, although "Liar, Liar" from Tom Shadyak, hands on heart, sympathizes a little more. You know that “Ventura” became the first comedy blockbuster in Kerry’s career, broke the box office. The critics didn't like it much, but the audience accepted Jim. Kerry’s charisma overshadows not only other actors, but also our smaller brothers.
If you count along with the TV tapes, then we have the attention, 12 film Kerry! Yes, the actor struggled to break into Hollywood. Long way. Try after try, film after film. You know? It’s hard to imagine Jim’s filmography without Ace Ventura. The actor needed "Ace" as a step up. Ahead – “The Mask”, “Dumb and Dumber”, “The Truman Show”, etc.
I recommend watching. It’s a funny comedy about a crazy animal lover. A classic of the '90s. It is a pity that such comedies are a thing of the past. As for the Golden Raspberry nomination, guys, Carrey has long proven who he is. Wonderful comedian and even tragic.
I don’t know if you can call the movie “Ace Ventura” a forgotten film of the 90s. He is very famous and popular, from time to time turns on TV. In that case, probably not.
The film, in fact, gave Jim Carrey a ticket to the world of big cinema. A film that made it clear that a world-class star rushed into Hollywood, capable of surprising and never ceases to surprise. It may be too loud words, but the example of Jim and Ace Ventura is, perhaps, a stunning tale of how a man begins his rapid rise. "Mask", "Dumb and Dumber", "Batman Forever", "Cable Man", "The Truman Show" - the actor became a top comedian, and if we talk about his fees - they grew like mushrooms after the rain! But that's not the point.
The success of Ace Ventura. Pet Search became possible tandem Jim Carrey - Tom Shadyak - both worked in the humorous field and together they wrote the script for the film, and then it came to the distribution of duties - Jim played the main role, and Tom - directed the film. Later, by the way, they will work together again in the films Liar, Liar and Bruce Almighty.
Given that the script of “Ace” was perceived by filmmakers skeptically, one can only imagine how the creators had to go to find a budget for the film. Moreover, many refused to participate in the project, fearing to contact little-known screenwriters. But, as you can see, expectations with reality diverged – the story about a private detective looking for not people, but animals, was received on “Hurrah!”
Given the craze of Hollywood on the topic of animal protection, probably it could not be otherwise – a film about animals and Ace Venturu, passionately loving every creature on earth, found a response and attracted the viewer.
Jim Carrey, in my opinion, is one of the best not only comedians, but also actors in general. Probably there is no person in a big movie who did not hesitate to do everything possible in front of the camera, implementing any movements, actions and curvatures that we can afford not always. In terms of emotionality, shocking in terms of the presentation of their characters, the dynamism of the body, animating even a static picture, few people can compare with Kerry and the role of Ace Ventura (like many others) is an example.
Communication with animals, bright and loose outfit, incomparable hairstyle, in harmony with funny glasses, his animal manners and animal habits in the process of investigation - Ace Ventura catches the eye and is remembered once and for all. I’m sure that if there’s ever a remake, whoever plays Ace won’t even come close to Jim Carrey’s level.
Despite the fact that in the film the main character is engaged in the search for missing animals, it is not a joke – not to find a dog untied at the store, but to investigate the whole conspiracy, the roots of which (according to all the laws of the detective genre) go back in time.
The film as a comedy is chic in fact in everything from the opening scenes to a cool musical selection for the soundtrack. If you want - this is the real treasure of the 90s in the genre of comedy.
But look at you. I do not impose my opinion on anyone.
The very case when around one man is built and the script of the film, and humor and various plot twists. No matter how they reproach Jim Carrey for excessive plastic and curvatures - it turns out that he is brilliant and unique.
The work of Tom Shadyak, which tells about the extremely extraordinary “animal detective” and his profession, does not shine with memorable second plans, locations and unnecessary twisting of the detective story (although the move, admittedly, is original). All this, even if brought to a level better, will eclipse the character of Kerry - a man with crazy hairstyle and exactly the same sense of humor.
In all this, it is worth noting Julio Makata, whose operator solutions were very good. Of course, humor is brought to a very specific “pole”, but even amateurs, to a certain extent, will like it. The advantage is the propaganda of humanism to our smaller brothers (and this factor is important).
It was funny where it should be funny and serious where everything is serious. And chic references to various events and art from the mouth of a talented comedian only add to the picture of extraordinary. Great comedy.
Do you want to make your life a living hell?
Sorry, I am not ready for such a close relationship.
(exquisite humor, ah ha ha ha ha)
Ace Ventura: Search for Pets
I thought about it, I realized that this was the case in life and I did not decide when I love more: cats or dogs. You see, I can't throw myself into words right now, because I have my dog next to me, so I'm going to leave this question in limbo. Ace loves all animals in general. And the profession he chose seems pretty sweet to me.
Jim Carrey is my favorite comedian. Well, yes, there are a lot of really outstanding comedians whose names have been entrenched in the history of cinema, but it should be understood that Kerry has stuck in my heart and holds a special place there. It's hard to do anything about it. It makes you smile even when you’re not joking.
Why don't you just say that just thinking that it's there, that it makes you laugh, cares about your mood, makes you feel so comfortable? That all your fears, all your past, all your bad thoughts and memories are gone and all that remains is hope for a bright future. Admit it, because Jim Carrey’s films are for the most part light, lightweight and rhythmic.
Some scoundrels, extremely treacherous people, decide to steal a dolphin, which, by the way, is the mascot of the team, calling itself, oddly enough - "Dolphins". The case is entrusted, at first glance, to a rough boy named Ace Ventura. They do not yet know that Ace is so good that he can persuade the Pope to punch him. It's true. He is also an excellent detective.
I didn't have a cassette tape, I saw it on TV. Do you think I knew it would be shown again and again? No, but I was hoping for it. The situation is similar to that of a very scary movie. As a martial artist, I never laugh. Then I laughed for the first time. The second — when watching "Ace Ventura 2"
To have such filigree facial expressions, you need to have special rights and it, yes, must be registered in the relevant authorities (such still need to come up with). Dashing and unrestrained Ace, paired with a certain Melissa (customer), she is also Courtney, she is also Monica, trying to find out who is behind everything. All this, of course, is accompanied by funny situations and humorous antics.
While you miss her when she's not around, imagine running to each other in slow motion, and the fall rain pours from the sky ... you can watch a movie about Ace Ventura, he always uplifts me, I think you're no exception, or ... watch him with her and throw away the idea that she won't like it because she's a girl. It's sexist. What's funny is funny. That's it.
P.S
We will have to make a complete review of all the films.
9 out of 10
I am somewhat surprised by the negative reviews of this film. The film is excellent, original and unique.
If you think that the film should not be shown to children, then first pay attention to the rating of the film. It’s 12+ and then decide for yourself. As far as I'm concerned, kids might like an eccentric detective. Moreover, there is no outright vulgarity there, and children who grew up in a normal environment will not pay any attention to sexist jokes. And the "adult" jokes there are quite neatly disguised. Of course, children will not understand many jokes created specifically for adults, but they will have something to laugh at. And watching this film at a conscious age, they will discover many new jokes. Surprisingly, many complain that the detective story is weak for the detective. I want to remind you that “Ace Ventura” is still a comedy. Or you will be disappointed from viewing the "Hot Gun", because there is a police plot is not worked out, and "Airplane" is weak for a disaster film, and "Hot Heads" is just a pale shadow on "Top Gun". Don't wait for a detective. He's here for entourage.
If you don't like Jim Carrey's huge number of curves. I can tell you they're appropriate here. They only emphasize the eccentricity of the main character. Of course, we can say that, as if, after all his films, in this he collected just an incredible number of twists, from which everyone in previous films is tired. Agreed? I don't. Why? Because Ace Ventura is the first popular Jim Carrey movie. Of course, there were “Earth Girls...”, but this is true, a passing comedy, especially not very popular. And there were no so-called kerrisms. There was Rubber Face, but the popularity of this comedy was almost zero. Many people say that his role in The Mask is appropriate, and we have already seen everything in it. Why show it here? It's just that when Ace Ventura came out, there wasn't a Mask yet. And "carrisms" have not yet had time to see the audience. And comedies with pretentious heroes have not yet been. Ace Ventura was kind of a pioneer. And for a long time, he was the standard for this kind of comedy. And many comedies still look like this movie. And at that time, believe me, when almost no one knew who Jim Carrey was, and suddenly a movie comes out with an unknown actor who creates such tricks on the screen. Believe me, this comedy was just an explosion in 1993.
I recently watched this movie. Comedies like this don't age. And, probably, until now, no one has been able to reinvent this comedy.
9 out of 10
Courtney Cox in his prime and Jim Carrey with their endless positivity, joined forces in the comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Search, while their on-screen heroes will have to solve intricate mysteries to save a rare dolphin. It would seem that the case is common, for a professional like Ace Ventura, but it is much more complicated, because the kidnappers of a mammal pursue crazy goals. In the presence of a short timekeeping, Tom Shadyak manages to show a lot: the relationship between Melissa Robinson and Ventura, who recently met her, the abduction of a dolphin, the search for the latter, Dan Marino playing Dan Marino, and a lot of ridiculous situations that risked not being funny, without being in the image of an animal detective Jim Carrey. Now it is difficult, and I do not want to imagine anyone in this role besides Kerry, because having an example called “Ace Ventura Jr.” Never before has a child in cinema been so irritating, more terrible and absurd than a spectacle, and there can be no more, except that Denis, who tied up his nanny and tickled her for a cookie. Let’s not compare “Shinola” and you know what, let’s talk about Ventura senior.
From the initial minutes, the film does not even try to be serious, because it demonstrates how you can cheat the ex-husband of one sexy madam with the help of a plush toy, and then deftly sneak away from this big guy in a car that starts at the moment of greatest risk to the life of the protagonist. But let’s not be picky, because the yard was the 90s, then such episodes looked very original, fresh, then naive simplicity was in the hands of some films, and now this (with some exceptions), does not always work. It resembles an old detective series, but not Colombo, as in Colombo we know the motives and identity of the criminal from the beginning. No, in the case of our film evil will remain incognito to surprise closer to the end, thus this fact makes the first viewing of the tape of Tom Shadyak much more interesting, and the main character, who seemed a profane in the eyes of his new employers, begins to conduct his own investigation, one step ahead of the police "colleagues", by the way, the law enforcement agencies are shown quite stereotypically, especially this fact is felt when Sergeant Aguado appears on the screen. As for humor, there is no doubt that some phrases and phrases can be distinguished during the period of nostalgia, but you can refrain from specifics in order to avoid spoilers. But...
Clothing in the tray
And the film would have been even more “truck in the tub”, if the timing was longer, and the plot shone with a certain ring. But all just small things, to be very meticulous, it is a sin not to mention the episode where the hero of Jim Carrey caught a bullet with his teeth, and then spit it out, as if nothing had happened, flashing a snow-white smile, although at best the detective would be left without a jaw. So no, you should not find fault, the benefit of the film has it from the first minutes of timing, and with a good-natured smile, without a drop of negativity, you can forget about logic in places, enjoying good old comedy. After all, it's Jim Carrey's best comedy role alongside The Mask, a subjective but close-to-truth statement. Years have passed, as indicated above in the text, but the tape was endowed with some magic, forcing him to sit down for re-watching a real detective ... animal.
Here should have been the face of Jim Carrey roaring like a lion from the famous screensaver, but the review sponsors are not so generous.
Jim Carrey in the main role – everything you need to know about this film
Ace Ventura: Pet Search is a comedy directed by Tom Shadyak starring Jim Carrie. For me personally, the tape is a vivid childhood memory that I want to feel again. After watching the film, I got a lot of impressions. In general, the idea of reviewing childhood movies is such an idea. When little shit seems new and interesting to you. For example: Godzilla, Best Movie, Vampires Suck, Meet the Spartans, etc., and there are films that will remain when rewatched with good feelings such as Home Alone, American Pie, Jumanji and of course Ace Ventura. Jim Carrey is just a god of crooks and clowns. For me, it was Jim who saved the film because there are a lot of fakes in the film, for example: a pool with a shark or a bullet caught by Ace with his teeth while chasing the kidnappers of defender Dan. But, you can close your eyes and enjoy Jim’s wonderful game.
Golden Raspberry. Worst male role. Really? Jim Carrey is nominated as the worst discovery of the year. Really? Really? What idiots give such ridiculous nominations. What category do they even judge? Why is Sylvester Stallone considered the worst actor of the 20th century? And only after passing, boring Creed, Golden Raspberry awarded Sylvester the prize for restoring reputation. Excuse me? That is, they want to tell us that the average drama is one time better than the world famous Rimbaud and Rocky. Well, then there are only idiots sitting there! Jim Carrey is one of the best comedians of the late 20th and 21st century. He can only be compared to Eddie Murphy. Although wait... Golden Raspberry 2010... Worst Actor of the Decade (2001 – 2010) – Eddie Murphy Oh, fuck, how fucking impossible it is to bear and understand their logic. A Thousand Words (interesting plot, worthy acting of Eddie), Meet Dave (of course a one-time comedy, but definitely not the worst movie and Eddie played at the level), Cheat everyone, Dr. Doolittle and Shaw begins (movies for one good time). Why is Eddie the worst actor of the decade? Because Golden Raspberry is useless, talentless, biased and not logical film award. Nominating an actor for the worst debut of the year in a film where he received audience recognition is equivalent to recognizing the greatness of such films as Manticore, Big Rzhak, Moscow 2017.
The film is great and fun throughout the film. Jim’s acting is great and worthy of a nomination for best role in the comedy genre.
Enjoy your visit.
“I have cast out all the demons! This house is clean now.
CTC classics, comedy classics with Jim Carrey, a new comedy classic in general - all this is Ace Ventura: Pet Search. Ingredients: 90s, good director Tom Shadyak, comedian Jim Carrey, beauty Courtney Cox, animals, detective investigation, crazy Hawaiian shirts and a lot of delicious jokes and fools.
80-90 percent as he is "Ace Ventura" makes Jim Carrey - a versatile actor (see "Golden Globes" for "Man on the Moon" and "The Truman Show"), but the true genius is in comedy. I'm not going to lecture you about Jim, I'm just going to tell you that, as it may seem from the outside, it's very difficult and not everyone can do that. And if he can, it's not like Jim Carrey. However, this is not only about branded curves. The powerful energy of the actor, his talent and charm are also not in last place. And, of course, you can not discount the work of the rest, especially the director Tom Shadyak, almost all of whose tapes turned out to be famous and became famous or cult in their genres – “Crazy Professor” (1996), “Liar, Liar” (1997), “Bruce Almighty” (2003).
“Ace” was his first debut work and absorbed all that will later be revealed in his paintings: kind, playful, sometimes a little toilet, and sometimes very childish (in a good sense) humor and ease of storytelling with a certain depth in a simple-looking comedy plot. Shadyak's Jim Carrey films are always a pleasure to watch, and often become more than just a movie.
There's a comedy director called Tom Shadyak. His track record is not so many paintings, but all of them, almost without exception, became hits of the year, and such a tape as "Healer Adams" (although it can not be attributed to comedy tapes) generally entered the annals of history, rightfully considered one of the kindest and most touching pictures of the late 20th century. True, his mystical drama “Dragonfly” with Kevin Costner was not included in the lists of the most recognized, but, nevertheless, the picture came out well. But just among the comedians you can see Tom Shadyak’s “Crazy Professor” with Eddie Murphy, there is also “Evan Almighty” with unexpectedly revealed in all its glory recently Steve Carell, and the predecessor of “Evan” “Bruce Almighty”, as well as “Liar, Liar”, where both played a wonderful comedian Jim Carrie. But the acquaintance of Jim with Tom Shadyak happened in the eccentric comedy “Ace Ventura: Pet Search”, in the film, which became a successful debut for the director.
Of course, many people can say that the success, including the box office – with an investment of 15 million dollars worldwide, the picture has collected more than a hundred – was due to the image performed by Jim Carrie. His curvatures are known to everyone, monkey crunches are also one of the hallmarks of the former stand-up comedian, who was before his career in cinema Jim Carrie. But the fact is that, as for Tom Shadyak, for Jim Carrie, the first part of Ace Ventura can be called the road to a successful future. His appearance with an unimaginable hairstyle and a dashing forehead, a bright Hawaiian shirt, a dancing gait and in general his general behavior at first surprised all those who were not accustomed to this kind of comedic image, and Asa Ventura was quick to call vulgar. But it wasn’t long before Ace Ventura became Jim Carrie’s calling card, just like Stanley Ipkis and his alter ego, like Truman Burbank of The Truman Show. Just after "Ace Ventura": Pet tracing" Jim Carrie will be invited to play in comedies that have already become classics – in the same “Mask” and “Dumb and Dumber”.
So, with the appearance and some features of the character of Ace Ventura figured out, but not only about him we will tell the film, which was created by the imagination and talent of the same Tom Shadyak, Jim Carrie, and Jack Bernstein. Not only that. It will tell about how Ace Ventura, who earns his living by searching for missing pets, becomes involved in a detective story with the kidnapping of the mascot of the Miami Dolphin football team, a dolphin nicknamed Snowball. The fact that soon the team has a game for victory in the Super Bowl, the lack of a mascot can negatively affect the players and this is well understood by the Dolphins boss, knowing what superstitious athletes he has. Boss secretary, attractive Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox) comes out on Ace and there he is. Despite the fact that he is eccentric, eccentric, some might even call him half crazy, he demonstrates the remarkable talent of a real detective. By the way, if you reject all the comedy of the tape, the detective story underlying it is quite suitable for strong and fascinating reading.
Well, writing a story for "Ace Ventura" Jim Carey knew what he wanted to be in front of the audience. He became comical, but a little confused the viewer, in the future he proved that he has the talent of an actor and Ace Ventura is not a mistake, even though there was a lot of pathos in the image, but Ace became an integral part of how we imagine Jim Carrie, which means the actor coped with his role. The heroine and star of the Scream franchise from the great and terrible Wes Craven Courtney Cox looked quite convincing in the film, organically fitting into its structure. It deserves attention that among the supporting actors is Tawn Lock, a well-known rapper of the 90s, who also did not fall out of the ensemble. There's also Sean Young. Despite this name, she is a woman (although those who are already aware of all the vicissitudes of “Ace Ventura” can mock this expression in a good way). The star of post-punk “Blade Runner” then became a regular participant in the anti-award “Golden Raspberry”, but in the case of “Ace Ventura” this trick did not come out and Sean Young showed herself well (literally and figuratively), although her behavior at the end caused some bewilderment, but she also showed that at 34, when she was filming, she has a great shape!
Numerous fans of Jim Carrie’s talent, of course, did not miss this film and have already watched it more than once. Those who do not consider themselves to be such still know that they will receive a charge of positive with Ace Ventura. Those who have not seen this comedy, then immediately forward to watching the film about the most eccentric private detective!

P.S. In one of the scenes, Ace Ventura appears at a concert by the brutal death metal band Cannibal Corps. I’m a heavy music fan myself, but the Cannibals are hard for me, and comedian Jim Carrie’s is a favorite band, like that.
Nostalgia, kind nostalgia. As a child, everything was different, but now it is completely unclear to me personally how the film can hook. I absolutely do not doubt the professionalism of actors Kerry and Cox, but only actors and good soundtracks of the audience can not take. The comedy genre looms in this film, but it was funny once there, and now, having grown up, these actions evoke only nostalgic memories.
The basis of disappointment is the plot, the detective genre is not visible at all, because it must have at least some conclusions from the provided evidence, and they were not special, unless you take the scene with the door. And the most important question of the detective, resolved in the end completely kills this genre and imposes more and more the same comedy that was funny in childhood.
This film is a typical film of Jim Carrey - his twists and unconventional actions. If the viewer likes this, then this picture will certainly please you, although the plot still, I think, will disappoint, if you are still a young teenager, then this picture will amuse you well, for a more adult audience, the film, I think, is completely unsuitable. I can only think of a time when this movie made me happy. 35%
It is out of competition (because there are no competitors)
Ace Ventura: Pet search – how much nostalgia in these five words! This movie was laughed at – no, laughed at – without exception. This film was directed by one of my favorite directors, Tom Shadyak. He will then direct the films “Crazy Professor”, “Liar, Liar” and “Bruce Almighty”. This is his directorial and production debut.
According to the plot, Ace Ventura is engaged in an unusual business - he is looking for missing animals. A new case comes to him - a dolphin named Snowflake, the mascot of the Dolphins football team, is kidnapped. Ace has to use all his talent to find the missing dolphin.
Actor's play. Jim Carrey - I don't think you should describe the performance of this amazing actor. Curves, curvatures and again curvatures - but it is made so ridiculous that there are simply no words. So where is Jim now? "Mr. Popper's Penguins," "Kick-Ass 2." But the Golden Nineties cannot be returned. Jim played as best he could - that is, watching this movie almost every week. Sean Young, who played Louis Ainborn, is amazing. That’s all, really...
Jokes. Excellent.
Ace husks seeds, throwing husks on the table.
- I could offer you an ashtray.
- Thanks, I don't smoke. It's a disgusting habit!
Jack Bernstein, Tom Shadyak, Jim Carrey are the writers of this film. Thank you so much for so many jokes. Funny jokes.
“You know how superstitious players are. I have one midfielder from childhood wears socks whirlwind. The other hasn’t washed his swimsuits for two years because he thinks flies bring him luck on their wings. - Ace Ventura.
And in conclusion, I want to say this: the second part holds the bar just like the first. But under no circumstances do not watch "Ace Ventura Junior" - horror.

P.S. If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer.
- Murder, Ventura. Where do you start your investigation?
I always tell everyone who does not mind listening to me about this film in a rush, with a storm of emotions, because this film conquered me since childhood, at the age of 6, probably. Everyone had Victims back then, and I had a tape of that movie and the Mask. It was a very happy childhood!
Ventura, I'm going to the bathroom. When I get out, it's better that you're not here anymore!
- Are you big or small? I just want to know how much time I have!
I love this movie for many reasons. Well, first of all, he nurtures such moral concepts as love for our smaller brothers. Secondly, it has a subtle humor, which really pulls to laugh and laugh. Thirdly, it is an interesting plot, where there are moments of love scenes and moments of climax. And fourth, of course, that's Jim Carrey! My favorite inimitable, damn funny, a little bit with a jerk Jim! Such a person is a plate with unsurpassed facial expressions, and excellent gestures from which you can make any hero.
Can I give you an ashtray?
- Thanks, I don't smoke. It's a very nasty habit.
Ace Ventura! How can you not love him? It is necessary to love him for the simple reason that he will make anyone, even a hardened nerd, smile. At the very thought of him and his leprosy, I begin to laugh.
Naturally, I am delighted with the plot! To the very end, you can’t predict who stole Snowball (I like it better than 'Snowflake')! When you watch a movie, you want to keep watching it again and again. So 'Ace Ventura - Pet Search' I reviewed it 20 times!
Courtney Cox's character, it's just charming. Indeed, she is so beautiful, so kind, brave, and even to some extent romantic woman.
Do you want me to turn your life into hell?
- Well, I'm not ready for a serious relationship yet, Louis. Thanks for asking.
I want to say that everything in this film is good: the actors, and jokes, and especially Lieutenant Louis Einhorn, which is simply unforgettable!
The film is worth the time spent on it, believe me!

Great comedy! A few moments are really hilarious and make you laugh to tears. Jim Carrey played amazing. And the image of Ace Ventura will argue, perhaps, even with “Mask” – one of the best roles of Kerry.
To the pluses of the picture, you can also add a beautiful story. Jim Carrey plays a detective who tracks down missing pets. This time, the dolphin went missing. An unusual dolphin, and the mascot of a football team. Now the football team can not win a single match! Ace Ventura has a very important mission. And the viewer must see how hilarious Ventura copes with the task.
The other actors fit perfectly into the narrative. Courtney Cox and Sean Young make up a great trio with Carrey. It is impossible to get away from the screen.
It is worth noting the animals separately. Their appearance in the frame added extra points to the film.
In general, thank you Tom Shadyak for a great movie, and Jim Carrey for the incomparable image of Ace Ventura. A classic of all time.
Unfortunately, this movie should have that rating. It is clearly not for children, a lot of vulgar jokes, and not subtle, but thick and flat, but still funny.
I hesitated to watch this movie for a long time. Whenever he was on TV, I ignored him. But now I'm 18 and I can watch whatever I want, even "Wait a minute!" This film was seen by many as a child and attention was not paid to vulgarity because they saw Jim Carrey and his curves, but as you get older you see a little more.
I honestly didn’t know that Courtney Cox, the beautiful Courtney, was going to be in this movie before Friends, she’s just fascinating, in other movies I didn’t notice that she was so beautiful. Jim is his style. This film is a classic for this actor. But you can’t say that in this film Jim Carrey showed all his acting skills, no, only one facet of it. As in "Eternal Shining of the Pure Mind" appears another character, real and serious. It's light and fabulous.
I think the film itself is positive. It's light and proper. Good triumphs, the main character kisses the beauty, and then the credits. Isn't that how it should be?

Is it possible to love witty, thoughtful, classical, farcical comedies and at the same time crazy, stupid? I think you can and should. Stupid doesn't mean incompetent. To make a stupid joke “work” it is as difficult to remove as witty. Mike Myers once said, “I love smart jokes, I love stupid jokes, and I love stupid jokes made wisely.” That's a good phrase. I like stupid comedies on a par with others. The main thing is not to be tasteless. Good stupid comedies are just as thoughtful, only the humor itself is "not combed." Sometimes you want to see it, don’t you?
Among the crazy comedies, one of the best is Ace Ventura: Pet Search (1993). With this film in 93, Carrie broke into comedy cinema. It was like thunder in the clear sky. Ace Ventura is a total nut in a good way. This is a brilliant character played by Carrie. Starting from clothes, hairstyles, ending with gait, facial expressions, gestures, voice. No one could have played this character like him. Because if you play in such a comedy style, then at the maximum. There is no other way to play Ventura. This is a real comedy art of the highest level performed by Carrie. The initial scene with a postal parcel and then with a dog, a car - you can watch many times in repeat mode. It's brilliant, again.
The film itself is a comedy stylization for a detective film, where Ace Ventura acts as a pet detective. Directed by Tom Shadyak. This is his debut, by the way. He and Carrie will direct another super comedy, Liar, Liar (1997). Shadyak perfectly creates the atmosphere of a comedy detective with a taste of sunny Miami, in which he is greatly helped by one of the best composers Ira Newborn (one of the main hits of John Hughes).
“Ace Ventura: Pet Search” is a truly iconic comedy, with Jim Carrie’s unique style and unique comedy detective atmosphere.
I didn't like it. First of all, too much vulgarity. And since this work features animals, children may want to see it. But all this abomination children better not to watch, otherwise parents can not avoid a lot of “inconvenient” questions. Now I understand why, when I wanted to see this film as a child, buying shots with animals from the announcement, my mother said that this film is not very good, and I believed her, did not watch it. Second, Jim Carrey and his twists are too much. Everything's fine in moderation. But here he is so annoying that you want to hit him on the head with something so that he finally calms down and calms down. He is so disgusting with all his twists and "audit" speeches that it is impossible to tolerate him for a long time. I don't know how that girl liked him. Someone will probably say that this is a comedy, so this maximalism and abundance of curvatures just fits in here, but for some reason I was not funny. In “The Mask” it all looked more organic, because there this green man was a little fake, a little fantastic-hyperbolic, and such a temperament suited him. And for an ordinary person, this behavior is too strange and inappropriate. And it's fun to watch the first five or ten minutes, but not the whole movie. 4 out of 10 Original
