There were various moments where the comicality of this movie was too much over the line for my taste, too excessive, nonetheless the movie was indeed funny. I must also give them credit that they made a silly comedy without nudity and more or less without vulgarity, which is not at all common.
The best idea of the movie was that he is indeed a good detective but he specializes in retrieving animals because he likes them and understands them :-p
He starts with him retrieving a little dog for a woman who insists to show him her gratitude... *rollingeyes*
The scene when he was asked to pay rent and reminded that he can’t keep animals in the apartment was very nice, he shook his keys before he opened the door so they all hid somewhere and there was nothing living in sight, but as soon as he closed it and he whistled animals came out of everywhere: birds, penguins, iguanas, mouse, parrots, and of course cats and dogs..
He is hired by Melissa because a dolphin has been kidnapped, an important dolphin since he is the mascot of a team about to play in the superbowl. He had been recommended by a woman working there who had previously hired him to retrieve his little dog, and when Melissa and another man told him about her he went “ Martha?... oh the bitch!” and they were like “what?!?” but he thinks in terms of animals and he remembers the dog not the person :lol:
He starts by examining the dolphin tank: “if I’m not back in five minutes just wait longer” although there was absolutely no danger in there. Once in, he imitates Kirk in StarTrek4 :lol:
He goes to the police station to ask what they know about it, and he talks through his ass :-/ not my kind of funny, but it’s one of the things people remember about this movie so I guess someone liked it :-/
Since he found a gem in the tank, he’s sure that it’s part of a Championship ring and therefore his list of suspects is now restricted.
First, he goes to a rich man’s party thinking he’s hiding the dolphin Snowflake somewhere; he starts making faces and stuff and then sneaks around, with the MissionImpossible music playing, in search of the dolphin but instead he finds himself fighting off a shark :-p He shows up back at the party with all his clothes torn and all wet, and tells everybody not to go to the bathroom! :-p The rich guy apologizes to him and he can see that his ring in intact, not missing any gems, so he looks elsewhere, controlling every member of the Dolphins team of a particular year to check if their ring is intact - this part was funny, with him trying to approach them all one by one to check their rings :lol:
The guy that he met when Melissa hired him is found dead: the police thinks it’s suicide but he proves them that it’s murder, with some impressive detective work :lol:
He has checked everyone’s ring but for one guy who joined the team later on.
Ace and Melissa have sex, and it’s quite a funny scene when she tells him “three times!?!” and he says “I’m sorry that’s never happened to me before I must be tired” :lol:
A player is kidnapped for revenge, and Ace tries to follow and they shot at him and he’s like Can’t you hit me? and he even stops a bullet between his teeth :-p
He goes to visit Ray’s parents’ house, and his room, which is ‘quite cozy if you’re Hannibal Lecter’ :lol:
Ray is his first suspect now. He finds out that he became a woman (although not entirely..) and he’s now Lois, the police lieutenant that has kissed him once. Now they really went a bit too far, just for that kiss, after knowing that she’s a man, he becomes crazy, burns his clothes, washes A LOT, he even cries... my goodness that was really too much, it was just a kiss!
and by the way, here we have the only bit of nudity in the movie: his butt :-p
He’s trying to fight her off and save the dolphin and incidentally the kidnapped player too, but they’re surrounded by the police, and what they see is of course a silly man and their lieutenant... but he tells them everything, and tries to convince them by proving that she’s in fact Ray. He tries taking her clothes off but she looks like a girl alright, until he makes them look at her behind and they can see that in her underwear there’s something extra... so they now know that she’s really Ray..
Lois/Ray is arrested, both the player and the dolphin are returned to their team, and in the last scene Ace tries again to catch an albino pigeon but fails again..
