Ace Ventura was the logical direction for his film career to go from there. From everything I ever heard about In Living Color, he was the guy with the physical comedy and the goofy voices. And you could tell, even then, that he was essentially a cartoon character. I still have my VHS copies of Peggy Sue Got Married and Once Bitten somewhere. I always liked Jim Carrey, even when he was still figuring out how to market himself and was calling himself James half the time. I honestly don’t remember what got me into the movie theater to see Ace Ventura, except possibly that my D&D group at the time was a bunch of guys, and they wanted to go. I never watched In Living Color and never felt I was missing out. Thus, Jim Carrey ( Dumb and Dumber) doing schtick and making faces wasn’t something that was going to draw me to a movie. I recognise it as a legitimate art form, but it’s never been my thing. There was really no reason that I should have liked Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
