There's no such thing as free cable.
When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

<em>'The Cable Guy'</em> should've worked for me. It didn't. I'm a big fan of Jim Carrey movies but I found this to be dreadful, it's the first film of his that I've found to be forcibly poor. It kinda leaves a bad taste too, given the main two characters are unlikeable. Nothing about this pleased me, despite a good cast list. As already noted with Carrey, but I also don't mind Matthew Broderic
Dark slice of comedy pie from Carrey & Stiller. As with everything in life, the internet also has its good and bad angles. Here with The Cable Guy, I myself salute the internet highway and in particular the many users of IMDb who have come forth to support this most divisive of movies. Lambasted on release by regarded critics and chided by many a cinema goer who went in expecting Mask & Ace Ven
