This is so crazy and nutty but it makes me laugh so much. Jim Carrey's out of his mind in this.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 23, 2025

I had a lot fun rewatching this. Jim Carrey's so insane but it's darkly hilarious. I wish we could've seen what Stiller would have done with the role, but I still laugh constantly when this is on.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 23, 2025

...on the whole The Cable Guy is about as subversive a mainstream comedy as you’ll find...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2022

You'll be surprised when you find yourself laughing out loud.

| May 31, 2022

As with Reality Bites two years earlier, director Stiller makes some astute observations about Generation X and its love of television - and media in general.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2021

Just on paper Chip is an unsettling character, but it's Carrey who really brings him to horrifying life.

| Jun 16, 2021

The hook to this weirdly compelling film is its teasing nature as a comedy of terrors.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 12, 2020

Sure, in the title role [Carrey] plays another in-your-face, over-the-top, wild and crazy guy. But for once he is not a lovable goof. He is a rather unsavory psychotic. And the movie itself is not pure farce: it is satire, with a disturbing edge.

| Mar 22, 2019

The Cable Guy is a gutsy move on Carrey's part, suggesting a willingness to grow just where commercial good sense would say to stand pat.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 11, 2019

While it makes a convincing case that too much television is ultimately brain-rotting, it does so with an unjustifiable smugness.

| Mar 11, 2019

This is a darker film for Carrey, but he's still Jim Carrey. His shenanigans keep even the blackest moments goofy.

| Mar 11, 2019

As a supposed summer blockbuster, this is a very eccentric film: The Cable Guy mocks its star as a pathetic jerk and comes close to telling its audience that we are, too.

| Mar 11, 2019

Those who like enjoy seeing performers open up their ids in the name of comedy might get a kick out of Carrey's spooky malevolence. Others, however, enter at their own risk.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 11, 2019

It barely matters that The Cable Guy fails [to satirize 온라인카지노추천], because it is crammed with other pleasures, not least Carrey, who lets us glimpse the human being behind the sociopath.

Full Review | Dec 12, 2018

Carrey's life-of-a-bad-party manner is a major hoot as he toys with Broderick over legal and illegal installations.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 12, 2018

Whether Carrey's fans will like it or not, the film is easily his best crafted piece of work to date.

| Dec 12, 2018

To watch Carrey leering with joy at the prospect of making respectable people guess dirty words, and Broderick trying to avoid the whole thing, is to enjoy their best comic synergy.

| Dec 12, 2018

In the hands of a smart director like Stiller, Carrey pushes his acting career to a new level here. The question is whether the comic's less daring fans are willing to go there with him.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 12, 2018

[The Cable Guy] is so repellent as to be almost literally unwatchable. This comedy isn't dark, it's extinguished. It isn't entertainment, it's pathology.

| Dec 12, 2018

More than anything, The Cable Guy is simply uncomfortable. It's Ace Ventura as the evil bad guy.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 12, 2018
