Review of The Cable Guy (1996) by Mauro R — 24 Apr 2010

My personal favourite from Jim Carrey. I once heard someone say:

"Jim Carrey, you either like him or you don't".

I think it's true, even when he is in crap films (referring to "Me, myself and Irene" and "Fun with Dick and Jane) he is always fun to watch, just him and himself and his character, he has an amazing acting talent. He is just, very different from others, his face expressions and stuff. Maybe that's why some people can't stand him. But nevertheless he is a great actor and trust me, Will Ferrell will never be as impressive at acting as Jim Carrey in terms of comedy actors.

Anyway, back to "The Cable Guy", the movie feels like it drags a bit at times, but it is overall good and very funny. I liked the ending i'll tell you that. This one is somehow a tad darker in tone than the usual upbeat comedy, and maybe that's why it worked very well. If you like Jim Carrey or enjoy watching straight-forward comedies, I truly suggest this flick.
