Ace Ventura quotes showcase Jim Carrey's unique physicality and comedic talent, making the character and movies highly entertaining and rewatchable. Courteney Cox's role as Ace's love interest in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective adds a great dynamic to the film, allowing Ace's immaturity to shine. The Ace Ventura movies are a mix of silly humor and detective parody, with memorable quotes that highlight Carrey's comedic genius and ability to improvise.

Ace Ventura quotes prove the hilarious Pet Detective was a character only Jim Carrey could play. Carrey was still transitioning from a stand-up comedian to a movie star when he debuted as Ace Ventura, the role that would define his early success. 1994's Ace Venture: Pet Detective is a wild comedy starring Carrey as an eccentric sleuth who specializes in animal cases. The success of the movie led to Carrey's first-ever sequel, 1995s Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.

Sequels that replace the original main star often fail due to audience wariness and a loss of the franchise's unique identity. Movies like "Grease 2" and "Mean Girls 2" lacked the charm and quotability of their beloved originals and were considered failures. Films such as "Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective" and "Son of the Mask" suffered from the absence of Jim Carrey's comedic skill and were financial and critical failures.

There are plenty of movie sequels that replaced their original main star and ended up completely failing. Unfortunately, when movie studios find themselves with a successful film or series, they can’t help but keep making sequels, even when the original main star needed to be replaced. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as the original star not wanting to do a sequel, a follow-up not making any sense with the original character, or many...

Jim Carrey is leaving his Los Angeles home after 30 years.

“For three decades it’s been a sanctuary for me but I don’t spend a lot of time there now and I want someone else to enjoy it like I have,” the Canadian actor told The Post via a statement.

“Cha cha cha cha … Changes!” he added, hilariously referencing the classic David Bowie song.

Carrey, 61, purchased the two acre property back in 1994 right before the release of his first major film “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” for 3.8 million, or 7.71 million today, as per records obtained by The Post. The five-bedroom, nine-bathroom ranch home, with more than 12,700 square footage, is now on the market for 28.9 million.

The comedian also told Wall Street Journal, who was first to report on the listing, that the estate served as “a...

1994 was the year that Jim Carrey exploded out of nowhere to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood after Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber all did big business at the box office, with the leading man’s rubber-faced shenanigans and penchant for slapstick positioned at the forefront of all three.

It was a hell of way to introduce yourself to the masses, and the following year, Ace Ventura was already back on our screens in sequel When Nature Calls, which earned over twice as much as its predecessor. The second outing may have cemented Carrey’s credentials as a draw, but it also marked the last time he’d reprise one of his signature roles until Dumb and Dumber To almost 20 years later.

However, insider Daniel Richtman now claims that...

Well, that was a brief term of office.

Jim Carrey has announced that he won’t be continuing on as President-Elect Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live going forward. The SNL legend returned to the weekly comedy show in the run-up to the presidential election to spoof the then-Democratic candidate, with his last appearance occurring just after the results came in on November 7th. This weekend, though, Carrey has made clear that he won’t be sticking around in the part as we progress towards Biden’s time in the White House.

“Though my term was only meant to be 6 weeks, I was thrilled to be elected as your SNL President…comedy’s highest call of duty,” Carrey wrote on Twitter this December 19th. “I would love to go forward knowing that Biden was the victor because I nailed that sh*t. But I am just one in a long line of proud,...

Earlier this year, there was a flurry of news about Ace Ventura 3. Word was that Morgan Creek Productions were just waiting for Jim Carrey to sign off on the project to begin pre-production. Since then, though, we’ve heard nothing. That may be down to the unexpected success of Sonic the Hedgehog, which has led to talk of sequels and spinoffs, and, of course, Covid-19, which threw a million monkey wrenches into the global movie machinery. But once again, there’s some light on the horizon.

Famed leaker Daniel Richtman has said that a new Ace Ventura movie is still in development, though didn’t provide any further details. Carrey may have even hinted at this in a recent SNL sketch as while playing Joe Biden he brought back Ace’s “Loser!” catchphrase to wild applause. Does he know something we don’t?

Perhaps, but what might a modern Ace Ventura look like?...

Beloved actor and comedian Jim Carrey has been portraying now President-elect Joe Biden on Saturday Night Live throughout the current season, and though many find his impersonation downright hilarious, others have found it a little excessive and not at all an accurate representation of the politician.

But Carrey’s most recent skit as Biden – wherein he gives a victory speech following winning the election – featured a hilarious callback to one of the actor’s most popular roles, Ace Ventura, who he played in both Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and the equally funny sequel Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. While delivering the speech, the actor used one of the character’s catchphrases to great effect, which served as a reminder to nostalgic fans of just how much they miss him.

Needless to say, the internet is eating it up, and now people are demanding that Carrey reprise his part as the...

Alrighty then! Netflix just made a lot of people very happy by adding one of the best titles in Jim Carrey’s extensive filmography today. For months now, customers have been able to enjoy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on the platform, but have been disappointed to find out that the sequel isn’t anywhere to be found on the streaming service. Apparently, though, those in charge heard the complaints and actually did something about it, as Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is finally available for subscribers to watch, just in time for the weekend.

The 1995 detective comedy classic sees Carrey is back in action as the titular animal sleuth, still just as wacky and uncontrollable as he was in the first flick. While in the Himalayas on vacation, the investigator is forced out of retirement when the exchange of an endangered white bat threatens to send an African village into a civil war.

We learned late last year that Morgan Creek Productions are eager to get started on Ace Ventura 3, but at this point, it seems everyone’s just waiting for Jim Carrey to sign off on the project and hop on board. When exactly that’ll happen, we don’t yet know, but according to our sources, there’s already some interest from a major Hollywood studio who hope to distribute it.

Though we haven’t been told who it may be, our intel says that one of the big studios definitely wants to do the threequel, but again, it all hinges on Carrey and if he’ll agree to reprise the role. And given that this comes to us from the same sources who told us about Morgan Creek developing Ace Ventura 3 months ago, which the company later confirmed themselves, we’ve no reason to doubt it.

Next year’s Sonic the Hedgehog will mark Jim Carrey’s first role in a major comedy movie in a while and fans are hoping that the actor is now due for a comeback. By the looks of things, that’s definitely going to happen and said comeback could even see Carrey revisit a couple of characters that helped make him a star.

For instance, word has it that Ace Ventura 3 is in development at Warner Bros., with the actor returning to the part of the Pet Detective. We Got This Covered brought you that news as an exclusive scoop last week and now, a separate source appears to have confirmed our intel.

Insider Daniel Richtman, who’s well known for providing accurate scoops on a number of major projects/franchises in Hollywood, tweeted something today that suggests he’s received his own info on AV3. Richtman mentioned the threequel...

Not exactly sure why, but Cartoon Network has been running a marathon of Christmas-themed episodes all day today. The marathon runs up through 10 Pm Et tonight, leading into Ace Ventura Jr., but the less said about that movie the better.

The holiday marathon includes specials for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Chowder, Tom & Jerry, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Scooby-Doo, Ed Edd n Eddy, Looney Tunes, and Casper the Friendly Ghost. They've also got Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer and the Legend of Frosty the Snowman.

So if you're getting burned out on getting burned up this summer, I guess Cartoon Network has the cure ... ? Christmas in July?

With all this snow and Santa Claus, it's got me all out of sorts. I've been baking gingerbread men all day, and my son turned his nose up at a piping, hot mug of cocoa.

The filmmakers behind The Sacred directed us to a trailer for the film today. Directed by Jose Zambrano Cassella and produced by Sharon Reed, the film finds a group of students who travel to a remote and sacred Native American patch of land, in order to complete a thesis on Native American Folklore. This distant swamp area was used hundreds of years ago to judge and to punish murderous criminals. The land itself has magical powers, making it possible for the dead to come back and punish the guilty. The Sacred stars Jessica Blackmore ( Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr. ), John Kyle ( Second Coming ), Lauren Brown ( Bloody 27 ), David Mackey, Ryan Marsico and Jordan Wall. Rick Gonzales of the Day of the Dead remake handled FX duties. For more, visit MySpace.com/SacredMovie ....

Every once in a while, a film will come out that pushes the bounds of human stupidity to such an extent that it drains every shred of hope out of you and makes you want nothing more than to give up and wait for the sweet embrace of death to overtake you.

I guess I should have known what I was getting into. The director's name should have been enough to tip me off; when a grown man insists on using a middle name like "Mickey," he's probably a little off as it is.

I'm also very aware of the natural proclivity that straight-to-dvd sequels possess to suck, and the fact that this is a sequel of a sequel with none of the recurring characters from the previous installments bodes very, very poorly. And it's not like Ace Venturas 1 & 2 were cinematic gold anyway. Still, I couldn't have prepared myself for...

Man... you know it's a dry week for new DVDs when Ace Ventura Jr. is one of the most noteworthy releases. There are only a couple of new titles that are probably worth anyone's time, such as Baz Luhrman's epic western Australia, Philippe Claudel's I've Loved You So Long, and Wong Kar Wai's Ashes of Time Redux, but even these aren't movies I'm going to rush out to buy. Also out this week: Disney's inimitable Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Real Time starring Randy Quaid and Jay Baruchel, and In The Electric Mist starring Tommy Lee Jones. Comic book fans might want to check out Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic or DC's Wonder Woman animated feature, but I think your safest bet ...

Australia

This felt like it would be one of those epic films that came, saw, and conquered. In the past, Baz Luhrman has made some impressive shows, from star-crossed lovers to sexy dancing and pop tunes, but Australia never knew what it wanted to be, and suffered for it. As Jma wrote in his review: "It's too bad that he had to waste the all-encompassing title Australia on such a mixed mess." Skip it on DVD and Blu-ray.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Where one like Australia fizzled, Beverly Hills Chihuahua shocked even Eric D. Snider: "[it] isn't the braying, garish nightmare that the trailers make it out to be, or that we've come to expect from Disney's live-action-excrement factory." Rent it on DVD and Blu-ray.

Ace Ventura Jr: Pet Detective...

You heard me right, I've been keeping track of this mind-boggling release for a while now, and am amazed that it exists in general. Without taking any more stabs at it, I'll just ask that you view the embedded trailer below.

The only promising thing after seeing the trailer is that Josh Flitter is the star. But frankly, I don't know that even that can save it. Josh Flitter is famous for his stand-out roles in less than perfect movies. I personally liked him in License to Wed... the film is a little bit better than average, but nothing to rush out and see.

I loved the character Jim Carrey created for Ace Ventura... the hair, the physical comedy, the way he talked - it was perfect at the time. Like Austin Powers though, the joke wore thin over time. Even using Alrighty Then as a post title is debatebly lame.

Lets begin with this thought -- I thought that young Josh Flitter was pretty good in previous roles such as the little Holy-roller in License to Wed or the chubby sidekick in Nancy Drew -- but this is just plain terrible. All seven fans of the Ace Ventura franchise should ...

I now present you with a challenge – see if you can watch all 1 minute and 3 seconds of the trailer for the direct-to-disc flick Ace Ventura Jr. without looking away. It’s harder than you think. If the title hasn’t already given it away, the movie centers on the son of Ace, who has to clear his mother’s name after she is wrongly arrested for stealing a baby panda. The quick cash-in to the Jim Carrey comedies is set to arrive March 3, 2009 and will come with six behind the scenes featurettes, extended scenes, and a gag reel. The flick stars Josh Flitter, Emma Lockhart, Austin Rogers, Chris Adler, Robie Alan and Reed Alexander.

If you weren't exactly sure what to give thanks for on Thursday, it could now be one of two options: You could either be thankful that there's finally a trailer for the likes of Ace Ventura Jr., or you could be thankful that said spin-off is going the direct-to-video route (as well it should).

Starring as the bastard child of Jim Carrey's pet detective is Josh Flitter, appearing in his first lead role after years of being the tubby sidekick to Emma Roberts in Nancy Drew, Robin Williams in License to Wed and Shia Labeouf in The Greatest Game Ever Played. It seems that he's inherited his father's hairdo and catchphrases, but no discernable comedic ability whatsoever (maybe that'll kick in with puberty, but I'm sure not sticking around to find out).

Ace Ventura Jr. will begin keeping dusty DVD copies of Son of the Mask company when it hits shelves next March.

12-year-old Nancy Drew star Josh Flitter is set to revive the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective franchise after taking over the role that helped turn Jim Carrey into a household name. Flitter has signed to star in the third Ace Ventura movie, according to movie news website MovieHole.net. The young actor will play the son of the original ace, who takes over the family business. Director David Mickey Evans admits he let his own kids pick the project for him - after presenting them with a handful of scripts he was offered after making family baseball movies The Sandlot and The Final Season. He told the website, "My kids run my career. After The Final Season got picked up for theatrical release, I had a bunch of offers and scripts on my desk. I asked my nine, 11, and 15 year olds what they wanted me to do. They said, 'Dad, you're doing Ace Ventura 3!' I don't know if the fact that the film shoots in Orlando and that's where Disney World is, had anything to with their marching orders, but I suspect it did."...
