Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Dir: Tom Shadyac
1994
*
There are three types of people in the world. Those that love Jim Carrey and find him funny, those that loath Jim Carrey and find him annoying and then there is those, like me, that want to punch the TV and throw it out the window when his name is merely mentioned (he doesn't even have to be on the TV that has been punched and thrown to warrant this reaction). Ace Ventura made it possible for unamusing and downright dire films that would have otherwise gone straight to video, get cinema releases. I look at Jim Carrey and wonder why it is that Mimes get such a rough deal, at least they don't make noise! The spoof of The Crying Game (a Cinephile Crocodile favorite) was enough on it's own to make me want to hate it and hate it passionately, I do.
