In this movie, the Miami Dolphins' mascot goes missing. With the help of Dan Marino, Ace Ventura rescues the animal just in time for the Super Bowl. Ace's trademark "All righty, then!" is among the most famous movie lines of all time. Jim Carrey suits the character perfectly well, and he returns for a couple more sequels.
