Rated PG-13
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (out of 5)
Jim Carrey delivers a darkly comic turn as an overly enthusiastic cable installer whose idea of friendship quickly turns unsettling. When an everyday guy played by Matthew Broderick accepts a few favors, he finds himself trapped in a bizarre and escalating relationship that blends satire, suspense, and pitch-black humor. Directed by Ben Stiller, The Cable Guy skewers media obsession and loneliness with an edge uncommon for ’90s studio comedies.
Strange, quotable, and ahead of its time, this cult favorite makes a standout VHS for collectors who appreciate comedies that lean a little darker and a little weirder.
