Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

benjaminweber This is the perfect Jim Carrey film: a comedy, but also a horror film with a more serious message at its heart. Jim Carrey's performance in this is nothing short of awesome. His portrayal of the deranged cable guy who just wants a friend is extremely sinister, while also being entertaining and warm in all the right places. His usual zaniness is there throughout, except subtly tweaked. When combined with the performances of his co-stars, whose characters all behave like normal people, this gives the nail-biting tension that pervades this film. The plot is excellent too, mirroring the balance between comedy and horror in Carrey's performance. It also keeps the audience guessing, never quite going in the direction they expect. There are a couple of subplots as well, which finally connect together in an explosive climax.This is a must-see for any fan of either horror or comedy. An innovative and brilliant film.

Irishchatter I have to say, Jim Carrey really did a good job in playing a criminal cable guy! He would honestly make you laugh even if some his jokes were definitely uncalled for. Matthew Broderick was good too as he can also play a very stressed out businessman who is trying to get his love life sorted and having to come across a cable guy freak! Man, I would hate to have a hard life like that!I was surprised to see Ben Stiller hasn't acted in this movie but he was shown as a criminal on television, I found that rather odd to be honest. He was the director or this right? So then, why couldn't act in this movie at all? He would make it even better in my opinion! I didn't find the ending very realistic, I would've thought that the cable guy would die from that fall because believe me, anyone would! Ben Stiller should've either killed off the character or get him arrested by the police. It would've been better to be honest.I suggest anyone who is a hardcore Jim Carrey fan to watch this!

Python Hyena The Cable Guy (1996): Dir: Ben Stiller / Cast: Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann, Jack Black, George Segal: Demonstration of what can happen if parents allow their children to be babysat by the TV. Title regards attachment and the cable represents a person. After marriage problems Matthew Broderick moves into a new place and hooked up with free cable by the cable guy. Broderick cannot get rid of him as he makes repeated visits and calls often. After politely calling off the friendship he goes to jail for equipment found in his home. At one point the cable guy sings "Somebody to Love" while Broderick is seduced by a prostitute. There is also tasteless game that Broderick's parents are pulled into. Director Ben Stiller delivers upon the message but it plainly isn't funny. He previously made Reality Bites, which is a different style film. Carrey is miscast and largely predictable and too silly. Broderick's role is more believable for his dilemma is one that viewers may relate to. Leslie Mann plays Broderick's girlfriend in what amounts to a standard role. Jack Black also appears as a friend of Broderick's. George Segal and Diane Baker have the thankless roles of Broderick's victimized parents. Energetic visual style adds to the mood but potential message of dysfunctional relationships is devoid within a screenplay that isn't worth plugging into. Score: 5 ½ / 10

JakobGruvberger This is maybe the worst movie ever made. And that comes from a person who usually loves everything Jim Carrey does. And actually he isn't doing anything wrong, he's a great actor, not only in "Dumb and dumber", but in this movie to. The thing is, he should never have participated in this film. The script, the story and everything else with it makes me sick. I bought the movie for about 50 cent, and I can tell you this, I want my 50 cent an 96 minutes back. The beginning of the movie seemed quite interesting, and you thought, this could be one of those movies like "Ace ventura" or "Me, myself and Irene". But then the minutes past and you started wondering when the funny parts would come. The sad truth is, they never came, until the end when the movie ended.
