I honestly thought the movie was hilarious. I think that some people were being a little to skeptical about the movie. I mean come on a dark comedy!!! The movie was different but not dark. That is what made it funny.... Full review

This movie is great! I was a big Jim Carey fan and this was by far my favorite role of his. Matthew Broderick's acting is a little weak, but I wouldn't even pay attention to any other performance other than Jim... Full review

Totally bashed by critics. Disowned by the public. The Cable Guy got the cold shoulder from every direction, which are represented in its poor box office showing. And I do not understand why. If not my favorite Jim Carrey, its in... Full review

I wonder if it would make any difference at all if the film was good.

But I'd call "The Cable Guy," the newest Carrey vehicle, an enormous improvement.
From the moment the film opens (the credits come in like bad, pre-cable television reception), Stiller is in complete control, no easy feat, I imagine, for someone trying to rein in Carrey's explosive tendencies.

Off-putting and unfunny, these stunts turn "The Cable Guy" terminally sour.
Paradoxically, some of the best moments in "Cable Guy" are a product of the kind of satirical skit humor he and Apatow successfully engaged in on TV's "The Ben Stiller Show.
