jodyfranz I saw this movie twice and liked it a bit better the second viewing and found Carrey's character to be a bit more likeable than I did previously. But I have come to the realization I really have to be in a very specific mood to watch AND enjoy a dark comedy.I didn't love this move and I didn't hate it and I think it's safe to say there are a lot more enjoyable comedies out there I would rather watch or rewatch before I ever put this VHS tape in again.I would recommend The Truman Show or Dumb and Dumber if you want to get some Carrey comedy in your system before recommending this one.

Vijith Vk One among the best performances by Jim Carrey. The only thing I couldn't figure out is why the movie has such a low rating. The story may not be too deep or anything, but it is pretty good. This is one among the best comedy thrillers I've seen. Don't let the low ratings fool you. It's definitely worth watching.Plus, movies directed by Ben Stiller are almost always unique.

glen-cunningham-677-784376 I first saw this movie when it came out in the cinema. I was 13 years old and a big Jim Carrey fan. Expecting another movie like Ace Ventura or The Mask, I nearly walked out of the cinema in disgust/boredom half way through the Cable Guy.In retrospect, I think I was simply too young to get this movie.In short, Cable Guy is a dark comedy about a person who is desperate to be somebody's best friend. However, the movie also dabbles in social commentary, particularly regarding the influence of mass media on society.I believe that this movie is ageing very well, and does not seem dated at all due to it's being set at a particular moment in time, shortly before the internet's explosion into the mainstream.This one is definitely not going to be to everyone's taste, and to be honest I'm not sure who the target audience is. But well worth a watch and I guess it will always hold a special place in some people's hearts. History will judge it more kindly than its contemporaries.

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.
