Hilarious film that wouldn't be made today from funnyman Jim Carrey

Warning: Spoilers
Jim Carrey. This guy sure has a thing for making us all laugh. 1994 was the year he made alot of films from The Mask,Dumb & Dumber and of course this film Ace Ventura Pet Detective. As well as doing the screenplay for this film he also stars in it too. In this 1994 comedy he plays a guy named Ace Ventura(hence the title)who is a pet detective who is solving a mystery on the whereabouts of a dolphin named Snowflake who apparently gets abducted by some former American Footballer named Ray Finkle who is out to get revenge on Dan Morino(playing himself). So its up to Ace to solve the mystery and discover who was the culprit behind it. Meanwhile there is a new Lieutenant in charge at the police station named Lois Einhorn(played by Sean Young) who is a no nonsense chick who doesn't like Ace Ventura,BUT is she all she seems to be?

Bottom line if you are a die hard fan of Jim Carrey's than this is for you,as there is a lot of slapstick humor going on in this film and also Jim Carrey making funny faces and acting like all daft and crazy throughout the film. Also stars a very young Courtney Cox as the love interest,this film is thoroughly entertaining stuff.

If this film was made today it would get alot of hate due to the homophopic theme with the culprit being transgender and Ace making fun of the person at the very end. So if you support the LGBTQ community then this isn't for you,but if not then check it out.

Overall its a 6.5/10 and out of 5 stars I give it 3.
