Review of The Cable Guy (1996) by Terminator 8 — 14 Jul 2015

I don't understand why everybody hated this film so much, as it is a fun, quirky, twisted, and even frightening at times comedy. The Cable Guy is one of the smartest movies I've seen, as it uses the terrifying subject of an obsessive stalker and uses it to its comedic advantage.

Jim Carrey gives the best performance of his entire career, and the chemistry between him and Matthew Broderick is simply a joy to watch. The climax of the film is superb, as it joins every plot point in the story together, which works perfectly to its advantage.

Not only does The Cable Guy succeed in being a laugh-out-loud comedy, it also succeeds in being an off-putting psycho thriller, proving that this is by all means one of Jim Carrey's better films.
