When your dog, bird, or water-dwelling mammal disappears, who do you call? Ace Ventura (Jim Carrey) is a low-rent private eye who specializes in recovering lost animals, so when Snowflake, the Miami Dolphins' aquatic mascot, is kidnapped, team representative Melissa Robinson (Courtney Cox) puts Ace on the case. However, Snowflake isn't the only Miami Dolphin who has gone missing; several key members of the team also disappear, including quarterback Dan Marino (who plays himself), who is spirited away while filming a TV commercial. With the Super Bowl only two weeks away, will Ace be able to find Snowflake and the missing athletes in time to salvage the big game? Ace Ventura: Pet Detective was a surprise box office smash and catapulted manic comedian Jim Carrey to stardom. The supporting cast includes Sean Young as ill-tempered Lois Einhorn, Udo Kier as the sinister Ronald Camp, and rapper Tone Loc as Ace's detective pal Emilio (Loc also wrote and performed a song for the closing credits). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This documentary tells the story of the life and career of Don Shula, famous coach of the Miami Dolphins -- the team he led to the first (and, so far, only) perfect season in NFL history. In 1993, Shula broke the longstanding NFL win record (324 games) and went on to a career total of 347 wins, while the Dolphins earned the highest winning percentage of any team between 1970 and 1996. Shula began his football career in fifth grade, starred in high school and college, and was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 1951. In 1953, he was traded to the Baltimore Colts, and later played with the Washington Redskins -- retiring as a player in 1959. In 1960, he became assistant coach for the Detroit Lions, and two years later was named head coach for the Colts (at 33, the youngest coach in the NFL). In 1997, Shula was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by unanimous vote. One of many NFL Football Life Story tapes from the All-Pro Sports series. ~ Alice Duncan, All Movie Guide
