About These Films:
The first movie is awesome, and is still one of Jim Carrey's best
movies. I like the second movie well enough, but it definitely
wasn't as good as the first. It stinks
that Courteney Cox's character of Melissa Robinson isn't even mentioned
in the second movie. She was pretty important in the first.
In the third movie, we discover that Ace and Melissa eventually married
and produced a son: Ace Ventura, Jr.
Call me crazy, but I actually like the third movie! I like "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective Jr." better than the second movie. Josh Flitter is a good child actor, anyway, and he sparkled in this show. It sucks that Jim Carrey wanted no part of another "Ace Ventura" movie, but I think they carried on the saga well. If you're familiar with the Ace Ventura character, you can believe he'd get lost in the Bermuda Triangle. It wasn't a lousy way to write out Ace, Sr. As a matter of fact, it would make things rather interesting if Ace, Sr. ever returned to the series. It would be cool to see an Ace Ventura Jr./Sr. team-up!
"Ace Ventura" had the potential of becoming a really great franchise, but when Jim Carrey bows out of a role it's rather hard to replace him. The same basic thing happened to "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber". A cartoon series of Ace did air on CBS for two seasons following the second film. I never cared for the cartoon. The animation is pretty choppy, and the humor of Ace doesn't really transcend well into kiddie shows. For instance, much of the first film's humor is fairly adult with a lot of sexual innuendo. The "Jr." movie was meant to be a family movie anyway, so that was able to work.
