MIX UP REVIEWS:
Euan (Age 12): ★★★★★
"This movie was quite inappropriate but it is really good. It is about a detective called Ace who is based on pets. The movie is about a dolphin mascot that goes missing and an American footballer who wants to kill someone. Jim Carrey who played Ace was amazing and extremely funny. Overall I totally loved the film and thought it was amazing."
