The Cable Guy

"Goofy as all get out, and that’s why I like it. Okay, if you’re NOT a fan of Jim Carey’s distinct brand of humor, you can skip over this review… …but if you are and you’ve never seen this one, this is a good one. I enjoy his physical comedy and I think his various characters are hilarious — and he’s such a “SILLY PSYCHO” in this — plus, Matthew Broderick truly is just as adorable here as he was in ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off — There are so many scenes where you can tell Broderick is desperately trying to not break character & is trying to not crack up with laughter. The Cable Guy, who goes by several names in the movie (all TV character names) is a lonely man who grew up with the television as his only “babysitter,” causing him to develop an obsession with TV & film. There are several funny scenes featuring Jim Carey’s outlandish comedy… like: 🏀 The Slam Dunk scene… 👑 The Medieval Times fight scene where he imagines he’s Spock (🖖🏽) fighting Captain Kirk… 🎤☮️🎶 JC’s imitation of Grace Slick in a Rolling Stones “Rockumentary” at a karaoke party (my favorite scene🎬)… 🚽 The attack on Owen Wilson in the bathroom… (I can’t figure out what movie is being referenced in this scene 🤷‍♀️) 🕛 The ‘Midnight Express’ prison scene parody 🤣 … brutally funny😬 🙃 “P🤬RNO-Password” at Family Game Night … (Maybe that’s where my BFF got the idea to play this game and “***** Pictionary” at my Bachelorette Party??… 🤔) Plus, this flick has some pretty good lines, lots of movie references, & an adorable, young cast of favorite comedic actors from the 90’s (many who have VERY SMALL roles here, but they eventually became even bigger stars than they were back then). "

"Creepy funny. Love the karaoke scene! "

"I loved this movie when it first came out. The darkness and satire still holds up with one hell of a cast, many before they really broke (Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Bob Odenkirk, Leslie Mann, etc). Beautiful widescreen cinematography too.‬.. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go play Mortal Kombat with my friend from Vietnam."

"This cult classic has never gotten the love it deserves. It definitely has a bit of an edge but a ton of laughs and the chemistry between Carrey and Broderick is epic"

"Good funny movie"

"Hilarious "

"You may not have seen it, but you probably remember him yowling "Cable guy!" in the trailer."

"Great movie! Miss Jim Carrey in these type movies. "

"Yes! I completely forgot about this gem of the 90s! "

"On the fence. Jim is a bit overrated "
