For Steven Kovacs, theiprice of cable isiaboutito go up.

Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable intaller. Raised on television sitcoms, he want 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.

THE CABLE GUY - 4 out of 5  (6/15/2001)

Best Jim Carrey Movie to date. - 4.25 out of 5  (5/17/1998)
This is one of my all time favorite Comedies, I'm not a huge Carrey fan but this movie isn't his normal humor either, it's a little darker. The Quality of the dvd is great except it's pretty basic, no trailer, and basic interactive menu's. If you like Jim Carrey, or this movie, get the DVD it's really great. "This concludes are broadcast day" -Chip Douglas-   more >>
