8/13: It's a surprise Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was released in theatres almost two decades ago.

When the film initially came out, I thought it was an awful movie. Ten years later, I still felt the same. But today, my opinion has improved considerably. I think it's because so much crap has been spewed out lately that Ace Ventura: Pet Detective comes off as tame compared to them.

Jim Carrey, as much as I dislike him, does a great job of being physical to play his character, and he has many funny moments. Points from my rating are taken off because of the excessive show-off of his sexual prowess. It's pathetic.

There are some impossible parts such as the box that's crushed by the elevator door, "Tom Ace" coming out of the restroom all wet with torn pants, and Sean Young as Ray Finkle. Unfortunately, Hollywood keeps perpetuating the myth that transvestites are natural born killers. Speaking of the Miami Dolphins, Dan Marino is awful and doesn't belong in the acting business.

All in all, because of Jim Carrey, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is somewhat funny.
