What moments I did laugh at were almost embarrassing to me, and as a result, I could barely make it through. Ventura, who has a collection of some cute (and not so cute) wild creatures, and perhaps they understand him, because he's definitely not human. So for the surrounds the escapades of the moronic pet detective hired to find the Miami dolphin's mascot, kidnapped right before the super bowl. Ace Ventura is simply crude, idiotic and beyond annoying in every single aspect.
I can't say if I would have laughed more when I was younger, but I really doubt it would have been much more.
I did laugh a few times (especially at the mincing muscle man whom Carrey for some reason checks out while using the urinal, followed by the eye roll), but I have to say, these films do not hold up with the exception of a few sequences taken out of context. For the rest of us, we stuck with our Hope and Crosby 'Road' collection. So once teenage boys and post teenage boys who never matured got him onto the list of top box office draws. The fact that his idiocy doesn't get him punched out (or worse) is head shaking. Carrey's schtick can get pretty tired really fast, and while he tried to tone it down in later films, did not have a memorable start in spite of box office success. Yes, that's the humor mentality that drives this trashy comedy that took another sketch comic from TV and moved them into the big screen.
