The Cable Guy – Friday 30th May 2025

I remember when this film first came out and how it was completely savaged by audiences and critics alike; I think it was Jim Carrey’s first flop?

Anyway, I didn’t bother watching it. Since then, however, it has gained a bit of a cult following, so I decided to watch it for the first time ever…

Aaaaand, it was crap.

Fundamentally, it just wasn’t that funny. The situations, the gags, the characters; they were at best, mildly amusing, but nothing more. Also, the protagonist wasn’t very likeable either.

The director’s commentary featuring Ben Stiller (the director), Judd Apatow (the producer) and Jim Carrey (the star), was actually much more entertaining than the actual film! So if you’re gonna watch this, be sure to get it on blu ray!

But seriously, it’s not worth watching.
