When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

Jim Carrey is great in this one as the crazy cable guy. Lots of great supporting cast as well. I enjoy this one every time I watch it.

A very dark and disturbing film when you burrow right down into it, especially at the end of the film you really do feel for the cable guy. I Never got to see it when it came out, I recall the posters at one of my Blockbusters was very prominent at the time. it's worth a watch, especially if you like Jim Carrey's flavor of humor. Also features a few familiar young faces such as Jack Black and Owen Wilson to boot. Its kind of surreal having a cable guy talking about coax cables at one point, or the over the top hi-fi you see in the film, I can see that being a bit hard to resonate with today's audiences in sch a situation, but growing up around that time you kinda get it a bit more.

Mediocre story with Jim Carey humour. For fans

Dark slice of comedy pie from Carrey & Stiller.

As with everything in life, the internet also has its good and bad angles. Here with The Cable Guy, I myself salute the internet highway and in particular the many users of IMDb who have come forth to support this most divisive of movies. Lambasted More
