He's the best there is! (Actually, he's the only one there is).

Ace Ventura es un detective privado excéntrico que trabaja en Miami, especializado en rescatar animales secuestrados. Su estilo es inconfundible: viste camisas hawaianas y luce un peinado inspirado en Elvis Presley. El Departamento de Policía de Miami se burla a menudo de sus métodos. Un día, Snowflake, el delfín mascota de los Miami Dolphins, desaparece del estadio del equipo. Melissa Robinson, relaciones públicas del club, contrata a Ace para localizarlo antes de la Super Bowl, la gran final que el equipo debe disputar. El plazo aprieta y el detective tiene que encontrar al animal antes del partido decisivo de la temporada.

Trivia about Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

James G. Robinson vio a Jim Carrey en el programa de humor In Living Color y lo eligió para el papel de Ace Ventura. Antes, Rick Moranis había rechazado el papel.
La banda de death metal Cannibal Corpse tenía conflictos de calendario con una gira europea, pero el equipo ajustó el rodaje para que pudiera participar en la película.
En vídeo doméstico, la película vendió 4,2 millones de cintas de vídeo doméstico en sus tres primeras semanas.
Las tres películas de Carrey de 1994 sumaron 550 millones de dólares en taquilla, lo que lo situó como la segunda estrella más taquillera del año, solo por detrás de Tom Hanks.
