"Ace Ventura"

The classic: Jim Carrey's breakthrough film role was the annoying Ace Ventura, Pet Detective who originally set out to solve the case of a missing Miami Dolphins porpoise mascot. The film was a catalyst for years of painful Ventura impersonations by mind-numbing co-workers, semi-literate classmates, and embarrassing uncles.
The update: In "Ace Ventura Jr.," Ventura’s son, Ace Jr. (Josh Flitter of "Big Momma's House 2") takes up his dad’s job after his mother is arrested for stealing a baby panda. If there’s one thing worse than '90s era Jim Carey, it’s a child actor…doing anything. For a preview of how awful this could be, see “Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd.”
