Carrey has no funny lines and no funny gags; what he's left with is acting silly, striking poses, and making faces at the camera.

Reviews for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Yes, it was funny. But it also loosed a plague of lame Jim Carrey films upon the world.
Among the stupidest of stupid comedies. Jim Carrey is typically manic, but shows none of the acting nuances on display in films like The Majestic.
Loose-limbed, rubber-mouthed and poodle-hyper, Carrey is the screen's next great clown.
