how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 36 comments (34 from Metacritic, 2 from TMDB reviews) β 2 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 2 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βIn its first act and most of its second act, Tom Shadyac fully embraces the movie's goofiness and absurdity, thus generates some inventive and crafty comedy set pieces out of them.β

βIn the second half, everything goes gradually downhill. The plot begins to lose its sharpness little by little, as well as the humor, which ends up relying merely on gross-out gags and low-brow, dirty jokes.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βA riot from start to finish, Carrey's first feature comedy is as cheerfully bawdy as it is idiotically inventive.β

βTreat this project as you would a safari: It has its slow parts but the wildlife makes it worthwhile.β

βHe's so over-energized from the start you keep thinking he'll wear out his welcome pronto; an hour and a half later, his lunacy is still hard to take your eyes off. [04Feb1994 Pg. F6]β

βAce Ventura: Pet Detective marks the ascendance of a new star in film farce, as Jim Carrey elevates this stupid, suprisingly shoddy picture into the comedy stratosphere, mainly thanks to his Gumby-like ability to contort his face and body in the most amazing ways.β

βWhile the rubber-limbed Carrey may not yet be in the hyper-manic league of Jerry Lewis or Robin Williams, his psychotic energy goes a long way to make this plot-anemic comedy palatable. [04Feb1994 Pg. 07.D]β

βOne of the funniest movies of all time. Still to this day, every time I watch it, I can't help but laugh. One of my favorite movies of all time.β

β**Jim Carrey is the movie.** Jim Carrey is one of the great comic actors of the 90's, and this film is one of those that opened the doors of stardom for him. He already worked with comedy before, of course, as an actor and stand-up artist, and he took advantage of this background to build Ace, an animal detective with eccentric habits and manners.
