DVD Synopsis

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

Editorial Review of DVD

The film that catapulted Jim Carrey to stardom, Tom Shadyac's Ace Ventura: Pet Detective comes to DVD with a standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. English soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Mono. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are also accessible. Supplemental materials include production notes, a theatrical trailer, additional footage, and a commentary track. The only thing missing from this disc is a widescreen transfer. Apart from that, this disc has everything Carrey fans could want. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
