Movie Reviews of The Cable Guy (Full Screen)
Movie Review: The Cable Guy
Summary: 5 Stars
When I saw this movie when it was new, I thought it was one of the funniest movies I'd ever seen. This is still my opinion. But my buddy, Gary, didn't like it. He was expecting Jim Carrey's usual lite, goofball comedy. The film was too dark and disturbing for him. Jim Carrey's portrayal of the psychotically unballanced Chip Douglas is a riot. If you like 'Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas', I think you'll appreciate The Cable Guy.
Summary of The Cable Guy (Full Screen)
Just after arriving in his new place steven summons the cable guy. The cable operation turns out to be starved for human companionship and steven gets hooked into hanging out with him. When steven decides to end the relationship the cable guy becomes terrifying and satanic destroying stevens life. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Jim Carrey Leslie Mann Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Ben StillerIf 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 fianc?e. 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
