Ace ventura pet detective transphobic7/29/2023 It comes across as transphobic and homophobic. Okay, let’s just say it right now, Ace Ventura has aged horribly in places. The themes more mature, the material decidedly more crude. Additionally the film was perfectly catered to the sensibility of a boy shifting closer to teenage years. I’d seen physical comedians before, but never quite like this. Ace Ventura to me, felt something akin to discovering fire. We went back to the cinema and this time we didn’t forget the film we’d actually gone to see. A few months go by of quiet wonder, and then I get wind the film is out. We spread word through playgrounds and siblings, for this impending comedy gem, destined to be a masterpiece (to a 12 year old boy anyway). Me and all my little mates were well prepped for Jurassic Park by the time it came out. Back at that time, pre-internet, it was rare to get advanced warning of an impending film.
