 | Jim Carrey does an AMAZING job with this frist rate, sweet, awesome comedy. Its one of the few movies that doesnt constantly remind me of Jims "ace ventura" over-acting zany stigma. Here he is no less brilliant but slightly more self-aware and controlled. Seeming to open the gate precisely with the right amount, and at the right time, of appropriate servings of hilarious awesomeness. The chemistry he shares with Matthew Broderick is great, and Jack Black has a sweet supporting role too. I already own this dvd but they really need to get on the ball and make a special edition with commentaries and other features. I actually doubt this will happen but damn if I wouldnt buy three in case I broke two of em. |

| Here's a film that was marketed as being funny. It wasn't. You walked into the theater, sat down, watched the movie, and thought to yourself, "What is this?"
It wasn't funny. It wasn't entertaining. |

| Directed by Ben Stiller, "The Cable Guy" is an underrated film with many layers. Matthew Broderick's cable-challenged character Steven, and his crazy friend Rick, played by Jack Black, are trying solve his problematic relationship with his girlfriend. Jim Carrey stars as Chip the not so mentally stable Cable Guy, who puts in one of the most incredible, gut-wrenching performances of his entire career. His uncanny performance of "Somebody To Love" is like watching John Belushi's SNL duet with Joe Cocker.

| So I've heard this movie wasn't such a booming success... and I've never really been clear why.
I really see no difference between Carrey's performance in this and say, Dumb and Dumber. It's the same awesome slapstick as always. If any other person had tried to pull it off I think I might agree with more of the negative reviews here. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
If you don't like this movie because of 'lack of plot' then shame on you. Comedies pretty much don't need plot because, for the most part, a story isn't required for something to be funny. You just need an excuse to show some people act crazy for an hour and a half.
This movie is awesome. Carrey slapped it out old school as always because he's a comedy robot on stilts. |
