| Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is a 1994 American comedy film directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Jim Carrey. It co-stars Courteney Cox, Tone Loc, and Sean Young, among others. Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino also portrays himself in a major role. Though this was Carrey's 14th film role, it is considered to be the one that launched his successful film career.[citation needed] Currently this film is the first of three collaborations between Carrey and Shadyac. The film also did well at the Box office, grossing $107 million worldwide with a budget of $11 million. Because of that, a sequel was made, entitled Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and an animated series, which lasted for 3 seasons. More at wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org |
