    Ace Ventura, Pet Detective (1994)

    The main purpose of this movie is to showcase the antics of its star, Jim Carrey.

    He plays a modern-day Doctor Dolittle-style gumshoe who searches for Snowflake – the kidnapped mascot of the Miami Dolphins football team.

    There are lots of clever sight gags which would be easier to take if Carrey didn’t work so hard to beat us into submission.
