I hang my head low as I confess, I did indeed rent 1981’s Canadian “comedy” Rubberface from Blockbuster. A little wackiness here and there, but nothing you’d look twice at. You know what he’s capable of and often he’s either being a regular guy or has the Carrey-meter turned way down to maybe a two-and-a-half. It’s both weird and highly amusing to watch Carrey’s early work. That’s not to say he entered A-list superstardom fully-formed. Afterward, 1995 saw Carrey opening a "Batman" sequel, and in 1996, he would be commanding a $20 million salary ( unheard of at the time) for his work on Ben Stiller's " The Cable Guy.Thanks to Sonic The Hedgehog (2020), I was able to take my daughter to see Jim Carrey go ‘Full Jim Carrey.’ When I was a kid, the only Jim Carrey I ever saw was ‘Full Jim Carrey,’ so the fact that he would later take steps to become a ‘serious actor’ never remotely crossed my mind. Then 1994 saw Carrey starring in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," the cartoonish comic book movie "The Mask," and the farce "Dumb and Dumber." All three were massive hits, and the Canadian comedian immediately leapt to the top of the Hollywood firmament. Prior to "Ace Ventura," Jim Carrey was known primarily for his standup comedy and for his work on the popular sketch comedy series " In Living Color," itself a cultural juggernaut. It's a gross, gross ending to an otherwise "wacky" comedy. The film also include an unfortunate helping of slut-shaming as well. Her exposure was accompanied by having the surrounding crowd spitting and rubbing their tongues in disgust it seems she had kissed them all at some point and their gay panic immediately kicked in.
The climax of " Ace Ventura" saw a trans woman (Sean Young) stripped down to her underwear in front of dozens of cops as evidence of her guilt in the case. What made the film worthy of reconsideration was a staggeringly transphobic twist that mocked and derided one of the film's main characters for comedic purposes.
