The premise is innocent enough, but the sexual jokes just didn't do anything for me save for the climactic crime-solving scene. Jim Carrey has made a career of overacting, and, while this isn't as bad as The Mask, it isn't anything to write home about. Honestly, this movie doesn't do it for me. Instead of Ace Ventura, my Jim Carrey memories include Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty.
This movie holds a special place in a lot of people my age's hearts because they grew up with it, loving Carrey's over-the-top performance.
When a simple pet case becomes a bigger conspiracy, Ace only has a few short weeks to solve the mystery before the big Superbowl. This movie stars Jim Carrey in the titular role as a private investigator who is hired to find missing pets.
