Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
One of the funnier films that I have watched. The movie has a great opening, and it was quite humorous. The story starts off simple with the titular Ace being hired to find out who stole the missing dolphin. You would have just thought that the plot would be thin to make way for all the gags littered throughout the film. This feels true for the first half of the film, but it took a surprising turn when the case started getting more serious and more complicated. It's never going to be taken seriously though it gave the film a bigger sense of aim. There were also a lot of stupid moments and things happening when you don't know why it is happening. The big revelation about the kidnapper was surprising, although the ending where the identity was revealed was weird. This is one of Jim Carrey's better films, and he portrays the character of Ace as a strange and eccentric person nicely.
