Almost a perfect comedy is Ace Ventura Pet detective simply because it was Jim Carrey in his prime.Jim Carrey plays probably the most outrageously funny character in his entire career as the bizarre animal lover hired to locate a stolen dolphin.The story give the film so much potential and it lives right up to it because of Jim Carrey.Ace is probably the goofiest,stupidest,weirdest,most annoying character ever yet that is why i love this film.The fact that Carrey plays such a good freak and delivers every classic line with pure comedic genius is enough to make this a classic.The acting is top notch as is the cast which includes Courtney Cox and Dan Marino.Despite the impossibly unbelievable situations Ace gets himself into the movie can be as silly as it wants because it is a silly movie.No movie has gone as over the top physical comedy as Ace Ventura and it's not humourless Americas Funniest Home Videos physical comedy it's how awkward and how uncoordinated Carrey contorts his face and body when delivering a line such as "Alrighty Then".Sadly Jim Carrey has decided to get into less goofy comedy's like Bruce Almighty,Fun With Dick and Jane and other snore fests that don't even compare to his earlier work.If you enjoy stuff like Family Guy,Mad T.v or anything over the top like that i deeply request Ace Ventura.Guaranteed to make you burst with laughter
