Lou (Leighton Meester) and Henry (Luke Cook) investigate a trio of cyrpto bros after one of the dies of poisoning leaving the rest of the department to focus on Big Hank’s (Clancy Brown) charity fundraiser and the money that disappear during a sudden blackout. There isn’t much to either case, although there is some fun to be had watching Joe (Scott Lee) struggling to figure out who stole the money only to donate it to charity anonymously (which of course was Lou, attempting to teach her father a lesson) and given one of the suspects in the poisoning reminds Henry of his ex it does offer a bit more of a glimpse into his past.

While the kids build the world’s most chaotic bookshelf, something Lawrence (Richard O’Brien) views and approves of, Doofenshmirtz (Dan Povenmire) sets loose an army of plants created in his own image the not even he can control. Both parts are equally wacky, and do intersect to help pare down the outrageous bookshelf before it is seen by Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb‘s (David Errigo Jr.) other parent, although neither is a standout (even if the titles of some of Lawrence’s books are humorous).

“The Dead Bo-ats Society” offers a Saturday morning adventure for Tina (Dan Mintz), Louise (Kristen Schaal), and Gene (Eugene Mirman) who explore a boat in a scrap yard out of town only to become trapped when the owner leaves and releases his guard dog. With time becoming an increasingly important factor, due to the bet they made with their parents that they would be back by 11, the trio end up having exactly the kind of crazy adventure they were waxing poetically about just that morning (albeit a more chaotic and dangerous one than they had planned).

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

  • Title: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective
  • IMDb: link

Released in 1994, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective is little more than the window dressing of a plot to allow Jim Carrey to go crazy on film for 86 minutes. The film was heavily rewritten after Carrey was cast and much of the scenes were improvised on set to take advantage of Carrey’s humor and growing popularity. Much like his role in Batman Forever, Carrey is unleashed where films like The Mask, The Truman Show, and Dumb and Dumber made more effort to fit his style into the larger context of the film.
