15 Bafflingly Low Rotten Tomatoes Scores You Won't Believe

10. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (45%)

Critical Consensus: "There's no consistency to the 'Ace' character, and the whole movie shifts in tone from social satire to sophomoric pranks and traditional copshow plotting." - Variety Why It€™s Wrong: If you grew up in the 1990s, there's about a 98% chance you saw this movie and loved it. After all, it introduced Jim Carrey and his hyperactive brand of humour to audiences en masse, as he completely ran away with the movie's demented premise, culminating in the classic "Finkel is Einhorn" revelation. Regardless of what the critics say, its numerous catchphrases ("Alllrighty then", "Like a glove" and so on) and Carrey's ceaselessly energetic physical comedy will live on forever more. Why The Critics Hated It: Much like Sandler, Carrey was a new comic talent who was always going to prove divisive. His mugging and bleating was either going to charm critics or grate on them, and considering that the movie's success is determined almost entirely by his presence, the 45% score is at least understandable, even if it's still totally baffling to any Jim Carrey fan.
