DescriptionHe's the best there is, in fact, he's the only one there is! He's Ace Ventura Pet Detective. Jim Carrey (The Truman Show, The Mask, Liar Liar) is on the case to find the Miami Dolphins' missing mascot and quarterback Dan Marino. He goes eyeball to eyeball with a man-eating shark, stakes out the Miami Dolphins and woos and wows the ladies. Whether he's undercover, under fire or underwater, he always gets his man...or beast.Amazon.comThe 1994 box-office hit that turned comedy maniac Jim Carrey into Hollywood's first $20-million man, this gag-filled no-brainer stars Carrey as the titular rubber-faced gumshoe who tracks down lost pets for his heartbroken clients. Ace's latest case involves the apparent kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' team mascot, Snowflake the dolphin (natch). His investigation is a source of constant aggravation for Miami police lieutenant Lois Einhorn (Sean Young), who turns out to be packing more than a pistol under her skirt. Friends fans will appreciate the presence of Courtney Cox, who remains admirably straight-faced as the Dolphins' publicist and Ace's would-be girlfriend, but of course it's Carrey who steals the show with shameless abandon. One viewing may suffice for a lot of people, but Carrey's hyper antics have made Ace Ventura: Pet Detective one of the bestselling videos of the 1990s. --Jeff Shannon

Another Childhood Favorite!!!
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved this movie because of Jim Carrey's wacky and silly behavior. Ace Ventura is a Pet Detective who is hired by people to reunite lost or stolen pets with their owners. When Snowflake, the mascot of the Miami Dolphins is kinapped two weeks before the Super Bowl. Ace is hired to find Snowflake and find whoever kidnapped him before the Super Bowl. If you love comedy, you'll love ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE!!!

Jim Carrey is quite simply amazing, I never stopped laughing the whole way through the movie. Sure-fire entertainment.
Subtitles... in English?
The quality of the DVD picture was fine, however, one thing I found pretty irritating was that there were distracting subtitles in English, even though the dialogue was entirely in English. I then assumed the DVD was created for those hard--of-hearing or deaf, but also realized the subtitles did not match the script in some scenes.
My advice would be to please be more considerate and mention this for other customers in the future. Someone may be having a hard time searching for a movie for deaf or hard-of-hearing people without this notice posted in the desription.
Ace Ventura Pet Detective
