Ace Ventura 3 : Junior Pet Detective

THE MOVIE CHANNEL | BOX OFFICE | MORE TRAILERS

When it was announced there would be a third Ace Ventura movie put into production - there was a slight glimmer of hope that Jim Carrey was going back to the well and delivering a character that was actually funny.

Then we were told it would be about his kid. So it's no surprise this project went straight from the "Cinema Release" schedule to the "Striaight-to-DVD" pile.

Allrighty-then. After his African adventure in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Ace returned to Florida, married girlfriend Melissa and became the doting father of a baby boy. Never one to sit still, Ace's curious nature took him on another remote case.

The goofball gumshoe was never to be seen or heard from again.

Single mum Melissa couldn't fully put the past behind her. Now a zookeeper, she and Ace Jr have made a life carrying on without her husband. Much to Melissa's chagrin, however, 12-year-old Ace Jr. has begun to follow in his father's comic footsteps. He has recently become a pet detective for the 7th grade set, often trying to recover classmates' missing pets, and always with big mishaps.

But when a master animal thief abducts a baby panda and his mom is wrongly arrested of the crime, Ace Jr. must jump into action. Now, with the help of pals Laura and tech wizard A-Plus, young Ace must bring the thief to justice and do his inane and lovable dad's memory justice.

The theatrical release of the Ace Ventura 3 has been definitely canceled... I wonder why, and instead the movie will be released directly to DVD on March 3, 2009.

Ace Ventura is back... but he should have stayed hidden
