When
your dog, bird, or water-dwelling mammal disappears, who do you call? Ace Ventura
(Jim Carrey) is a low-rent private eye who specializes in recovering lost animals,
so when Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins' aquatic mascot, is kidnapped, team representative
Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox) puts Ace on the case. However, Snowflake isn't
the only Miami Dolphin who has gone missing; several key members of the team
also disappear, including quarterback Dan Marino (who plays himself), who is
spirited away while filming a TV commercial. With the Super Bowl only two weeks
away, will Ace be able to find Snowflake and the missing athletes in time to
salvage the big game? Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was a surprise box office smash
and catapulted manic comedian Jim Carrey to stardom. The supporting cast includes
Sean Young as ill-tempered Lois Einhorn, Udo Kier as the sinister Ronald Camp,
and rapper Tone Loc as Ace's detective pal Emilio (Loc also wrote and performed
a song for the closing credits). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
