What Parents Need to Know
About Ace Ventura Pet Detective Jr.
Parents need to know that kids will probably enjoy the slapstick humor of this animal-centric film, but that farting and poop jokes may garner more laughs than the rest of the script. The hero's dad is dead, and the mom is put in jail during the movie, leaving only a quirky grandfather to watch over the boy (which he does only minimally.) Kids get away with breaking and entering, and repeatedly disrespect federal officers. There are some nice lessons about being who you are, even if that makes you stand out from the crowd. Compassion for animals is central to the plot.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Ace Jr.'s devotion to helping animals. How far do you think you would go to help a lost pet, and when does Ace cross a line that would put him in danger? Do you think it's realistic that his classmates would be so angry at him because he offered to find their pets but didn't?
