Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) is a comedy directed by Tom Shadyac — watch online on iFILM and see Jim Carrey's rubber-faced, turbo-charged performance as Ace Ventura, Miami's only private investigator who works exclusively with animals.

The Miami Dolphins' dolphin mascot Snowflake goes missing days before the Super Bowl, and so does star quarterback Dan Marino — who plays himself with surprisingly good comic timing. Reluctant police liaison Melissa Robinson (Courteney Cox) is stuck working the case alongside Ace, who interrogates suspects in disguise, infiltrates a mental institution, and treats every crime scene like a personal playground. Lt. Einhorn (Sean Young) is convinced Ace belongs in a cell rather than on a caseload. The film runs 86 minutes and wastes very few of them.

Morgan Creek Entertainment produced the picture for $15 million; it grossed over $107 million worldwide and launched Carrey as a bankable comedy star. Stream Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) in full online on iFILM.
