$20-million man, this gag-filled no-brainer stars Carrey as the titular rubber-faced gumshoe who tracks down lost pets for his heartbroken clients. Ace's latest case involves the apparent kidnapping of the Miami Dolphins' team mascot, Snowflake the dolphin. His investigation is a source of constant aggravation for Miami police lieutenant Lois Einhorn (Sean Young), who turns out to be packing more than a pistol under her skirt.Friendsfans will appreciate the presence of Courtney Cox, who remains admirably straight-faced as the Dolphins' publicist and Ace's would-be girlfriend, but of course it's Carrey who steals the show with shameless abandon. Carrey's hyper antics madeAce Ventura: Pet Detectiveone of the bestselling videos of the 1990s.This inevitable sequel finds Jim Carrey reprising his role as the world's greatest pet detective. His latest case, the disappearance of a rare African white bat, draws him out of his spiritual retreat at a Tibetan monastery following the tragic outcome of his previous case. That traumatic experience, which makes for a hilarious opening-scene send-up of the Stallone thrillerCliffhanger, prompts Ace to venture to Africa, where he goes native with the tribe that hired him to find their symbolic bat. From that point anything goes, with Carrey pushing the boundaries of good taste (what, you were expecting good taste?) up to and including his now-infamous "birth" scene from the backside of a mechanical rhinoceros. Hey, don't be ashamed if you find yourself laughing.--Jeff Shannon

Ace ventura was one of the funniest comedy movies to be released in the 1990's. Just after the success of Dumb and Dumber, Carrey moved into the remembral role of the pet detective who searches for lost and stolen pets. In both movies however, he is called in to help for the search of two unique animals/mammals.
The first film engages in Ace Ventura searching the Miami Dolphin mascot that has been kidnpped, featuring great supporing cast such as Courtney Cox (Friends) and Dan Marino (Miami Dolphins kicker). The film is witty and you will literally laugh out loud at Carreys character, from fighting with the Maimi Dolphins Mascot to being eaten by a shark, you will find everything in the film funny. One of the biggest hits in the younger generation, this DVD is a definite purchase. All people need this in their DVD collection and the fact you can get them as a boxset is an advantage.
The Second film, 'When Nature Calls' is a superb add on of the series, with Ace searching for the stolen white bat to bring two fighting tribes together. Strung together with endless jokes and gags, such as the monopoly and guy and being born out of a rhino, the 'white devil' has to solve this mystery with the help of idiotic tribesmen. Tom Shadyac has provided yet another classic film that pleases all.
The films are great to watch one after the other constantly, especially with all your friends around. The Bosxet also has a few special features that are exciting to watch. Dont miss out on these two films if you have never seen it.
If it is a film you have allways been meaning to watch, or want to watch again, then the boxset is the smartest way to go, and will fit into any DVD collection.

Review of Ace Ventura - Pet Detective/Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls (DVD)
In the family comedy ACE VENTURA – PET DETECTIVE, our titular hero (Jim Carrey, DUMB & DUMBER) takes it upon himself to rescue lost and stolen pets from harm's way. Sure, he may have some unorthodox methods--indeed, he may even be certifiable--but no one can fault his sincerity, as he gumshoes his way through an obstacle course of absurdity. WHEN NATURE CALLS continues Ventura's pet sleuthing in the wilds of Africa. His mission: to avert a tribal war by locating the whereabouts of a sacred bat.
