Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

This is the movie that made Jim Carrey (A Christmas Carol) a household name and would forever introduce us to the wild man of comedy. He stars as wacky, eccentrically dressed Ace Ventura, a pet detective, who gets hired by Melissa Robinson (Courteney Cox) to find out who kidnapped the Miami Dolphins mascot. Ace gets on some hot trails and whacked out missions as he tries to figure out who did it as well as he tries to solves a murder that could be connected at the same time. The whole movie Ace gets no respect from police Lt. Louis Einhorn (Sean Young) as she thinks Ace is worthless and can only get in the way of the case. Ace discovers some troubling things as he figures out that the kicker that missed the field goal in the last Superbowl might be the person behind the kidnapping. But boy does Ace and everyone else get a surprise in the end! The movie also stars Dan Marino as himself, Troy Evans (The Black Dhalia) as Roger Prodactor, Tone Loc (Rapper) as Emilio, Udo Kier (Rob Zombies Halloween) as Ron Camp, and a cameo by death metal band Cannibal Corpse. I give this movie an A because it's a classic and a hell of a lot better and funnier than the sequel.
