Cable Guy 

Description

If you think Jim Carrey's comedy is an acquired taste, think of The Cable Guy as a potent bottle of bittersweet wine. The film has a lingering aftertaste, but it is just a bit too dark, a bit too extreme to invite another serving. On the other hand, you've got to give Carrey some credit for risking his $20-million paycheck (and a big chunk of box-office revenue) on this black comedy. A needy, psychologically unbalanced cable-television installer (Carrey) forces his friendship upon an unsuspecting bachelor (Matthew Broderick) who has just broken up with his fiancée. The movie gets edgier and more desperate--and in some respects funnier--as Carrey's cable guy gradually goes crazy. Director Ben Stiller manages to pack some pointed social commentary into the movie's many humorous detours. Although it was a box-office disappointment, The Cable Guy is nevertheless a daring comedy for those who have had their fill of Ace Ventura. --Jeff Shannon

«ben's directing debut»

This is another good role for Jim carey. It's not his usuall regular comedy. It is more of a dark comedy. Matthew Broderick has just moved into a new apartment and is waiting for the cable guy to come. When jim comes, they talk for a few minutes and jim invites him to hang out. It later seems jim is obsessed with hanging out with matthew. Eventually, matthew says he is a nice guy but doesnt want to be his friend. Then jim, starts screwing with his life

«I can't believe I sat through this.»

The Cable Guy starring Jim Carrey could possibly be his worst film of all-time. He is absolutely horrible in this and so is Matthew Broderick. Their strange chemistry is completely off and even the funny Jeanne Garfalo looks like she hated filming this dark comedy. The only funny scene is when Carrey sings the Jefferson Airplane song, Somebody to Love. I hate to say it but this one is a stinker!
