Review of The Cable Guy (1996) by Lanyard980 — 09 Aug 2021
Open your mind to this film.
I love Jim carrey films, and you have to open your mind for this one and try to see it for what it is, its a disturbing comedy about a mentally disturbed man the cable guy Jim carrey.
All he wants is a friend to be wanted and to be loved, the way he goes about winning that friendship is disturbing, and carreys performance is brilliant hes far more than a comedian he a one of a kind actor there's no one else out there that could execute this role as good as he did, the film is shot in a way showing humans obsession with the television set, how we now rely on it and we stray away from what we should be concentrating on (our family life) I think Ben stiller is trying to bring this point forward.
This film was wrongly criticised by some critics for what ever reason. I recommend you watch this film twice maybe three times before you make you judgement.
For me its a cult classic.
