Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a film that thrives on the sheer energy and comedic genius of Jim Carrey. For fans of his larger-than-life style, this movie is a goldmine of absurd humor and slapstick comedy that showcases Carrey at his peak. From the exaggerated facial expressions to the wildly over-the-top physicality, it's clear why so many consider this one of his most iconic performances.
The movie’s charm lies in its unapologetic silliness. It doesn't try to be anything other than a fun, ridiculous ride, and for those who grew up watching it, the nostalgia is undeniable. Many reviewers describe it as a childhood favorite, a film that still brings smiles and laughter decades later. However, it’s not without its critics. Some feel the humor is too silly or immature, relying more on antics than wit, and may not resonate with everyone, especially those who prefer more sophisticated comedy.
Despite the polarized opinions, Ace Ventura remains a cornerstone of 90s comedy, I loved for its carefree vibe and its ability to deliver laugh-out-loud moments. If you enjoy slapstick humor and Jim Carrey’s unique brand of comedy, this movie will likely hit all the right notes. For others, its appeal may feel limited, but it’s hard to deny the lasting impact of this film on the comedy genre.
A classic for many, and a divisive piece for some, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is undeniably Jim Carrey in his most unfiltered, unforgettable form. Whether it’s your cup of tea or not, it’s a movie that cemented its place in pop culture history.

I absolutely loved Ace Ventura it's one of any favourite Jim Carrey film. This was a new comedy around it's time. No one had seen it before but this movie launched him into popularity(and also In Living Colour as well.) so I rate this a 10/10. I wish I could give it a 1000/1000

More silly acting rather than a funny comedy. Average at best.
