For instance, you probably would not hear “Honey, I’m sleeping with my boss at work who doesn’t look much like Jim Carrey” too often pre-1994.
And E-GADS! the man must’ve made a deal with Satan to detach and move facial muscles at will.Īt the time the film was released, both Jim Carrey and Courtney Cox (who plays Melissa) were not household names. He defies any nice guy stereotype with his duck hairstyle and outrageous wardrobe alone. You won’t probably go for it if you are looking for solely high-wit plot twists, because there’s a lot of slapstick to go around the table and come back for seconds.īut consider how easy it is to quote Ace Ventura and laugh as the pet detective talks trash at all the stiff-nosed snobs he encounters. For instance, you will not like it if you loathe “annoying idiot slacker goofball” main characters. I’m sure there still remains a large chunk of society that would rather just never see Jim Carrey do his Ace Ventura ever again. I don’t mean to get into a “Every Other Critic Out There Is Daft” rant, because I don’t believe that. The man was, indeed, very off his rocker. Roger Ebert was not the Pope, his words not the same as the Supreme Being. In fact, having laughed so hard when I saw it in the theater that I couldn’t breathe, and then later reading Ebert’s take, I had an epiphany. Well, good thing we all listen to the critics, because until Austin Powers came out, this had to have been the most popular, most-watched college film when I was a freshman in college in ’94.
#Ace ventura pet detective rating movie
Justin’s review: Roger Ebert said that he found Ace Ventura to be “a long, unfunny slog through an impenetrable plot.” called it an “unfunny showcase.” That Andrew Hicks guy who did five bazillion one-paragraph internet movie reviews said, “I just don’t understand why anyone likes this movie.” Leonard Maltin bickers that Ace “runs out of steam.” Justin’s rating: As much sense as Intel’s Blue Man Group.
