This is a Jim carry movie with lots of laugh and may be somewhat enjoyable to fans who crave action. The jokes are very funny, but you might want to watch it before you show it your kids.... Full review

I always thought this was a very funny movie. I always loved Ace's antics and how he would figure things out. Ace helps to find the Miami Dolphins mascot. If you love comedy and Jim Carrey's humor, then you'll love this!!!... Full review

Final Thoughts : Rubberface is a short made-for-TV movie that offers a below average flick.
The problem is that Carrey does not have a huge role and he does not get anywhere near the hilarious baseline he set in films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective .

Disc one contains the original Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, released in 1994, which came out of nowhere to be a surprise hit.
The only reason to buy it would be for the Pet Detective DVD, however considering that it's missing one of the best scenes, I would say stick with the original uncut version, unless of course, you just HAVE to have a widescreen version of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Carrey'd made a few flicks prior to Pet , and he became famous for his work on In Living Color .
The movie consistently irritates and produces painfully few laughs along the way.
The talent undercut it, unfortunately.

Make no mistake: "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," Carrey's movie-starring debut, is a mindless stretch of nonsense.
Actually, it's probably better to think of him as an experiment in rubber, a Gumby with a match lit under him.

Without Carrey, ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE would add up to a perfect zero.
The movie revolves around Carrey's talent for contorting his face.
Carrey's aren't the only talents squandered in this juvenile production.
