What Parents Need to Know
About Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
Parents need to know that, despite this comedy's seemingly innocent title, its bathroom humor and sexual content can be offensive. Dramatic kids might spend days imitating star Jim Carrey's wildly exaggerated mannerisms. Some teens may enjoy the so-called humor and insist on seeing it, but parents might want to watch with them.

Hilarious!
I thought it was hilarious.. Jim Carey is awesome. It does have some sex and language so parents, watch it first. But, honestly, if your child wants to watch it, they will if you don't tell them why they can't.

be carefull
You need to know that Jim Carrey does a lot of mature humor. This is an awesome ans halarious movie but it is not one for kids under 12. It has sex, nudity, and it makes fun of metaly challenged people. You should disscuss with your kids tha Jim does an over exaggerated imatation of mentally challenged people. but this is a good movie.

OK
This movie should be rated R. It has constant sex and mild profanity. There is also some violence in a suicide and shootings. It's also not that good of a movie.
