Well ,I opened my movie vault today and came across the cable guy on DVD ,Jim Carrey has to be the funniest man in the world ,when life makes me mad Jim's there to make me laugh ....thanks Jim Carrey love you

This is an awful movie. It is not funny. It is just cheap laughs. The story line is awful. It is just hype. Any comedy movie could be popular. People are such laughing junks that really does not have to be funny to be popular. It really does not need a good story line either. If you want see something really funny do not bother with this movie.

This is the perfect Jim Carrey film: a comedy, but also a horror film with a more serious message at its heart. Jim Carrey's performance in this is nothing short of awesome. His portrayal of the deranged cable guy who just wants a friend is extremely sinister, while also being entertaining and warm in all the right places. His usual zaniness is there throughout, except subtly tweaked. When combined with the performances of his co-stars, whose characters all behave like normal people, this gives the nail-biting tension that pervades this film. The plot is excellent too, mirroring the balance between comedy and horror in Carrey's performance. It also keeps the audience guessing, never quite going in the direction they expect. There are a couple of subplots as well, which finally connect together in an explosive climax.This is a must-see for any fan of either horror or comedy. An innovative and brilliant film.

People think of Jim carry as a goof ball. they think of all the funny movies he has done, but as soon as he is in a serious role it is shot down. Why? People can only except actors for their stereotypes. Yom cruise can only be an action star, morgen freeman can only be a serious actor, Jim carry can only be a goof ball. these are all wrong. Jim carry is a talented actor who has skills in improvisation and comedy. but that does not mean he is not good at other things to. People expected a funny Jim carry role when they went to watch this movie (cabel guy) but instead got one of his most impressive roles in his lifetime. the only other SEriouse movie that Jim played in that was better then this was the number 23. Jim carry can play more then just a freak he can play anything but people seem to dislike it when he does. why is this? is it the fact that we want to believe that Jim carry is truly like his characters in movies or is it the fact that we only ever saw his funny side until now. anybody who watched this movie and disliked it should re watch it only this time take everything you know about Jim carry and throw it down the drain.
