Picking up the scent of missing pets, Ace Ventura gumshoes his way through an obstacle course of absurdity in this theatrically successful comedy.
Pet detective Ace Ventura may be a clumsy, bumbling fool, but he always gets the job done. His latest assignment: to recover the Miami Dolphins' mascot, a.k.a. Snowflake. Poor little Snowflake has been dolphin-napped -- but luckily, Ace is on the case.
Cathy Morrison was the Animal Coordinator.

Review 5:
"...[The film] proves perfectly capable of inducing unexpected giggle fits. Carrey's refusal to be anything less than utterly inhuman on screen is heroic in its own brave, nutty, pretty funny terms..."
