To be a Pet Detective, you have to understand both the criminals and animals. Ace Ventura goes even further... He behaves like a criminal animal. When a football team's mascot (a dolphin) is stolen just before the Superbowl, Ace Ventura is put on the case. Now, who would want to steal a dolphin, and why? Written by Lars J. Aas <larsa@colargol.edb.tih.no>

Trivia
In his 2011 appearance on Inside the Actor's Studio, Jim Carrey revealed that he asked Anthony Hopkins to dinner and discovered that his approach to Ace Ventura was the same as Hopkins' to Hannibal Lector: they moved like animals. Carrey based Ventura's movement on birds and Hopkins based Lector's movements on reptiles. Carrey confessed that Hopkins was becoming Hannibal Lector right at the table. See more »Goofs
When Ace gets off the elevator, at the beginning of the movie, you see Ace kick the package to the door of the delivery. There is nothing but wall to the left of the door. However, when the man answers the door to the left of the door there is a tiny piece of a wall and a door right next to it. See more »Soundtracks

I thought this movie was the best movie Jim Carrey has ever did. It had me and my whole family laughing non-stop! No one could have done this movie the way Jim did. I could go on for hours about how great it is. I could watch it every day! I would give it a perfect 10! The acting in his movie was great. And Courtney Cox did an amazing job as Melissa! She's such an talented and amazing actress!
One of the funniest lines: Melissa: Did you have any trouble getting in? Ace Ventura: No, the guy with the rubber glove was surprisingly gentle.
