Goofs:
Factual errors: The film mentions the 1985 Super Bowl as "Super Bowl XVII (17)" It was not. It was Super Bowl XIX (19). Super Bowl 17 was held on 30 January 1983. (This might stem from the fact that the 1969 Super Bowl between the Colts and the Jets was the first to actually be referred to as the "Super Bowl" . The previous two Super Bowls were actually called The AFL-NFL World Championship Game.)

I'm guessing that everybody knows the story of this movie by now, but for those who might not have had the opportunity to see this great movie, it's quite a simple formula. The Miami Dolphins mascot is stolen and by word-of-mouth advertising Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) is called into manic action. His job is to find the dolphin and return it before The Miami Dolphins' crucial game.
Jim Carrey is quite simply amazing, I never stopped laughing the whole way through the movie. This is surely Carrey's best work, even now. OK, Dumb and Dumber and The Mask are very funny movies too, but this takes the biscuit. Everything Ace does made me laugh, from whipping football player's with a towel to get a ring imprint to showing up at a mansion party and being his usual manic self.
100 laughs per hour, if you have a sense of humour, then this movie is for you!!!
