The Cable Guy
Chip Douglas of Oddball is trying to validate a new deal with Steven Kovacs by offering premium channels worth $ 50 for a free cable. When Steven refused Chip's need for it, Chip moved on to chasing a strange psychic. Events then begin to change, as Stephen appears to launch an attack to destroy Stephen's life, which could cause a dangerous development in the coming events.

One of the most underrated comedies of all time.
July 27, 2009
Aiming, perhaps, for a neat double helix of black humor and prankishness, they've ended up with a pretty ugly granny knot.

Carrey runs riot, and Stiller won't stop him.
November 14, 2009
The writer and director can't keep pace with the dark places Carrey takes the script.
February 26, 2016
...a sporadically engaging yet often misguided thriller that passes the time well enough, admittedly, but accomplishes little else.
July 28, 2009
It's a fairly interesting effort -- much more ambitious than most Carrey vehicles.
March 26, 2009
While some of its antic set pieces are genuinely funny, this fuzzy-focus outing is hopelessly disconnected and ultimately unsatisfying.
December 18, 2010
A twisted comedy about TV addiction. Teens OK.
July 27, 2009
In all, about a third of the film (most of it contained in three extended sequences) is audaciously funny and genuinely disturbing. The rest will sorely test the devotion of Carrey's fans.
June 18, 2002
Much of it plays like a personal boob tube with Carrey trapped inside, determined to act his way out in a freak show of mugging. He's a disturbing mixture of psychopath and lonely soul. Here, as always, a little Carrey goes a long way.
August 20, 2009
The Cable Guy is certainly a cautionary tale, but not about the dangers of TV.
June 24, 2006
Stiller's film ranks as an honourable failure.
