The major downside of the movie is that after about an hour of watching Carrey doing what he does best, you realise that Ace Ventura is actually a very annoying character as well and when he isn’t being funny, he just irritates. The saving grace of the character is that he is also a good detective, which is why the movie is also full of really satisfying moments as he manages to out-do the “real police” as they search for a missing dolphin mascot before the Superbowl. From a run-in with a shark, a great sequence at a psychiatric hospital and a very clever scene on an apartment balcony, Carrey is left to let loose in each scene and is clearly having fun doing so. The case is one which makes sense logically and gets to a (problematic) conclusion but with each scene, it gives Carrey a chance to stretch his comedy legs, and there are some very funny moments. To quote Ace, Either she is really a man, or. Other films rely on the central character being so funny that the movie doesn’t need a “proper” story but Ace Ventura goes a slightly different way. The woman cop, Lois Einhorn, is really Ray Finkle, just with a boob job, and an operation on his.special place.
