I found it interesting how they worked the Ace Ventura story into his background. He was in Nancy Drew as Corky Veinshtein with Emma Roberts back in 2007 and has done some voice-over work in Air Buddies, Snow Buddies, Horton Hears a Who!, and Space Buddies. You could tell Flitter had fun in the role as Ace Jr. It was a good mix of slapstick and animal-related comedy. gets into and out of jams throughout the entire film, most of which involve animals. Honestly this was a fun movie, especially for kids.

Ace’s mom (played by Ann Cusack), a trainer at the local zoo, is implicated in the disappearance and goes to jail… Who must save the animals and his mother? Ace Jr. As such, he is on the case when pets are disappearing from kids all around the school and for a string of famous pets goes missing, including a panda on loan from China. is of course afflicted with the Ventura curse - the need to help animals.
ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE JR MOVIE
After Jim Carrey‘s hilarious turn as pet detective Ace Ventura back in 1994’s Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and again in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls in 1995, how could you introduce a kid movie into the series? Well, it turned it out it wasn’t as bad as I thought! (Not terrific, but not as bad as it might have been!)Īce Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective features Josh Flitter as young Ace Ventura Jr., Emma Lockhart as his school-age crush Laura, and Austin Rogers as braniac A-Plus. When I first heard about Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective, I was very concerned.
