I really do not understand the appeal of Jim Carrey.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is, was, his claim to superstardom back in the 1990s. It is juvenile and really transphobic in ways that are very uncomfortable to watch. It is not a good film and I cannot understand the appeal. Sure, there are moments where you will laugh but beyond that, it is just not cohesive.

Ventura is a pet detective hired to find a kidnapped mascot before the Super Bowl and he proceeds to mug his way through the movie and perform at a thousand per cent higher energy than everyone around him who quite literally just stand around staring at him.

I don't know what to say beyond that. There is a lot of homophobic humour and there is a plot point that hinges on a transphobic joke that is just gross.

What's good...

I got nothing.

What's Not so Good...

Everything. Skip it.

Stay away from this one.
