Introduction – Alrighty Then… He’s Back!

Nearly three decades after Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995), Jim Carrey is dusting off the pompadour and stepping back into the loud Hawaiian shirts for Ace Ventura 3: Lost in Time. The beloved, hyperactive pet detective returns in a wild, reality-bending comedy that smashes slapstick humor together with science fiction chaos.

With the tagline “He’s back — and even time can’t handle him,” the new film reimagines Ace’s investigative antics on a cosmic scale, throwing him into prehistoric jungles, futuristic skylines, and bizarre alternate Earths. This isn’t just a comeback — it’s a multiverse comedy adventure with Jim Carrey at his most unhinged.

The Story – The Case of the Cosmic Creature

In Lost in Time, Ace Ventura is hired to track down a mythical animal rumored to possess reality-altering powers. But during his investigation, the creature’s unstable magic rips open holes in space and time, yanking Ace into a whirlwind of parallel worlds and chaotic timelines.

One moment, Ace is dodging velociraptors in a prehistoric jungle. The next, he’s skateboarding through a neon-lit mega-city in the year 3025. Along the way, he stumbles into worlds where history has gone completely sideways — including one where penguins rule the planet and another where Ace Ventura is President of the United States (yes, really).

The stakes? The very fabric of time is unraveling, and if Ace doesn’t return the creature to its rightful home, reality could collapse into a never-ending loop of absolute weirdness.

The Team – Ace’s Oddball Companions

Ace has never worked alone — and in Lost in Time, he’s got some truly outlandish allies:

• Squawk – A sarcastic, street-smart talking parrot who serves as Ace’s reluctant partner and occasional voice of reason.

• E.L.L.I.E. – A cryptic artificial intelligence with a dry sense of humor and a mysterious connection to the missing creature.

• Dr. Margo Fletch – A brilliant but eccentric time physicist trying to keep Ace from accidentally erasing history… or himself.

Together, they form a bizarre but lovable team navigating a series of time-bending escapades that range from comedic chaos to sci-fi spectacle.

Jim Carrey’s Return – A Comedy Legend Reignites the Role

For fans of the original Ace Ventura films, seeing Jim Carrey back in the role is reason enough to celebrate. Known for his rubber-faced expressions, manic energy, and fearless commitment to physical comedy, Carrey’s portrayal of Ace defined 90s comedy.

Carrey has said that returning to the role after so many years felt like “visiting an old friend who hasn’t calmed down at all.” This revival also comes with a fresh twist: Ace’s trademark one-liners now meet futuristic tech, time paradoxes, and plenty of fourth-wall-breaking gags aimed squarely at the audience.

The Comedy – Old-School Ventura Meets Sci-Fi Absurdity

Fans can expect the same style of over-the-top humor that made the first two films cult classics — animal impressions, awkward disguises, and physical stunts — but now with the added layer of time-travel absurdity.

Picture Ace trying to interrogate a T-Rex with a magnifying glass, or attempting to explain the concept of “pet detective” to a cyborg guard dog. Every jump through time brings new comedic setups, each more ridiculous than the last.

Why This Sequel Works – Nostalgia and New Horizons

A true sequel after nearly 30 years could have gone stale — but Lost in Time works because it leans into Ace’s chaotic personality while introducing a fresh, high-concept hook.

• For Longtime Fans – All the familiar Ace-isms are here: “Alrighty then!”, exaggerated walks, and his relentless devotion to animals.

• For New Audiences – The time-travel adventure provides a bigger, more cinematic backdrop for slapstick humor, appealing to younger viewers.

• For Comedy Lovers – It’s a rare opportunity to see Carrey in full, unrestrained comedic form after years of more selective roles.
