Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of 'Porno Password' and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own immortal words, "I can be your best friend...or your worst enemy." Directed by Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander), and co-starring Leslie Mann, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson, THE CABLE GUY 15th Anniversary Blu-Ray has never looked as good, featuring an all-new commentary with Ben Stiller, Judd Apatow, and Jim Carrey, and over 50 minutes of Never-Before-Seen Extras!.

Additional InformationWhen a young urbanite calls to order cable TV for his apartment he gets much more than he bargained for, as the demented title character arrives and proceeds to insinuate his way into the beleaguered customer's life. Raised by television as a child and starved for human contact, the "cable guy" is a darkly hilarious carnation of the modern age. Carey's manic karaoke rendition of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" is a twisted highlight.
ReviewsVariety - ...Genuinely funny..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Amusing....Stiller works with craftsmanly precision..., The Sunday Times - Berserkly brilliant: Jim Carrey in full flood.

  • Its "ok" not his best

    I love Jim Cary, but I didn't find this up to his usual standard I didn't find it funny. I think honestly this was a waste of my money. Love all his other films though

    not as good as mask or pet detective but includes the hysterical medieval fight scene with Carrey enacting the Kirk/Spock fight scene from original star trek
