![]() ![]() The plot of Ace Ventura is fairly straightforward at first. Apparently their response was, “And you want us to do exactly what?” Let him dance and cover Desi Arnaz Jr numbers, I guess. I remember reading about it at the time, how the special effects team were told that they needed to turn Jim Carrey into a cartoon character. His big followup turned out to be The Mask, in which he was an actual cartoon character. And hey, in case it turned out that he couldn’t act well enough to carry the film, there were a bunch of cute animals to distract the audience. Ace Ventura was the logical direction for his film career to go from there. From everything I ever heard about In Living Color, he was the guy with the physical comedy and the goofy voices. And you could tell, even then, that he was essentially a cartoon character. I still have my VHS copies of Peggy Sue Got Married and Once Bitten somewhere. I always liked Jim Carrey, even when he was still figuring out how to market himself and was calling himself James half the time. I honestly don’t remember what got me into the movie theater to see Ace Ventura, except possibly that my D&D group at the time was a bunch of guys, and they wanted to go. ![]() I never watched In Living Color and never felt I was missing out. Thus, Jim Carrey ( Dumb and Dumber) doing schtick and making faces wasn’t something that was going to draw me to a movie. I recognise it as a legitimate art form, but it’s never been my thing. There was really no reason that I should have liked Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
