Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

For the most part Ace Ventura holds up well enough, although if it were to be remade today it’d be a tough sell with anyone but Jim Carrey in the role. Where this film falls apart is in its conclusion, in which the titular Ventura outs Lt. Lois Einhorn (Sean Young) as a trans woman. It’s a gag played on transphobic humor, as the immediate reveal has every man who was involved with her vomit at the revelation, while also perpetuating the idea that transgender people are inherently deceitful and a by-product of a mental disorder.
