Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of `Porno Password' and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own immortal words, I can be your best friend... or your worst enemy. Directed by Ben Stiller (Reality Bites), THE CABLE GUY is the perfect comedy for the TV generation. Jim Carrey's comic genius is frightening. George Pennacchio, CBS-TV San Diego
Review- Many performers don't take chances. They stick with what made them famous and decide to continue with that until people find someone else who can do the same thing just as good. Well, Jim Carrey takes a chance here, albeit a safe one. He's still up to his old antics, but in a much darker and odd way. I admire him for that.
