Jim Carrey, also known as "Fire Marshal Bill" from the TV series In Living Color, uses his rubber features and goofy personae to take control of Ace Ventura. At first, the case seems to be one of simple dolphin-stealing, but when quarterback Dan Marino (played, in a role that stretches his acting ability beyond the breaking point, by Dan Marino) is snatched during the filming of an Isotoner commercial, it becomes clear that sinister forces are at work.
Working alongside Ventura is the woman who hires him and eventually becomes his love interest, Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox). Ace Ventura, pet detective (Jim Carrey), is called onto the case when the Miami Dolphins' mascot Snowflake is kidnapped two weeks before the team's Superbowl meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. In the case of movies of this type, the plot is superfluous, and most of the time it doesn't make much sense anyway, but here are the basics. Take Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, for example, where the comic momentum sputters long before the running time has elapsed. However, stretching things beyond a certain point courts disappointment. Properly padded, it's possible that a few of those premises could even make passable 1/2 hour television programs. Certain ideas are excellent material for short features on programs like Saturday Night Live or In Living Color.
