What a silly silly movie! You don’t see Jim Carrey like this anymore. Some of his characters in other movies are a bit much for me but he plays Ace Ventura right. As this is the movie that put him on the map, and this movie just feels like Jim Carrey in a way no other movie does.
The One Liners of Ace Ventura
The one liners are a big part of this movie. There are so many iconic lines that came out of this movie. I remember the lines. I remember the movie they come from. I don’t remember the context of the lines. “Ooooohhhhh reahihihily.” “Alllllllllll righty then.” Being in elementary school when this movie came out, the lines were so quotable, the playground was full of Ace Ventura impressions. They were everywhere.
The Costumes of Ace Ventura
And the costumes! Nothing is better than Ace Ventura’s hair and his pink tutu. He lives in Hawaiian shirts and compared to the rest of the cast, including Dan Marino and Courteney Cox, and are all very muted, Carry sticks out like the sore thumb of a character he is.
The Actors of Ace Ventura
I was shocked to realize that Courteney Cox is in this movie. At this time, she was on top of her game and for her to chose to be apart of such a silly silly movie, blows my mind. I would think this was too low brow for her to participate in. I see her as a cocky actress who would not be interested in such a silly script and the fact she did in fact sign on blows my mind.
Final Thoughts
I think this is the kind of movie I see every 20 years… and am happy about that decision. I will see this movie again in 2040. Or maybe later as I am sure I will not miss it. There are many other movies that deserve the rewatch over this silly and ridiculous movie.
