The Cable Guy (1996)
9/10
Great Performance by Jim Carrey, in a Solid and Entertaining Movie.
17 April 2006
I saw this film when it first came out and I thought that it was woefully unfunny. However, I have since watched it a couple of times and I've enjoyed it more and more with each viewing.

This is one of Jim Carrey's best performances. He nails the comedy and the tragedy in his characterization of the socially inept cable guy who offers free cable to "Steven" Matthew Brodericks character.

This movie is just a solid piece of work. The great direction from Ben Stiller is commandingly inventive and he gets a great performance from Jim Carrey. I'd say the editing was a bitch, but they've done a fantastic job. The script is also deceptively good and well structured.

Basically, this movie will entertain you if you give it a chance.
