Jim Carrey. What else is there?
I truly believe he's the funniest man alive funnier than Jerry Lewis ever was but very much like that character and that's what Jerry was a character. I think I'm not a reviewer so I'll just say this he's very funny his voice the way he talks kind of nasal and the way he follows this guy around to be a friend with him it's just hysterical I think it's definitely one you want to see the only part I found extremely boring is when they went and then make this dinner and this kind of knights of the round table type for a 4 mid 18th century stuff I thought that was really boring but I thought the movie beyond that was pretty funny and I actually felt sorry for Jim Carrey's character it just seems to want a friend. I love Jim Carrey. I truly believe he's the funniest man alive funnier than Jerry Lewis ever was but very much like that character and that's what Jerry was a character.

Crazy Stalker Jim Carrey
Not your usual Jim Carrey movie. He plays an over bearing friend whom you can't get rid of. He's in your business, meddling in your affairs, he's everywhere you turn. When you reject him, he comes at you with a venjence and tries to ruin your life. I found this to be an entertaining movie but pretty stressful at times. It will remind you of all the crazy clingy people you ever came in contact with. If anyone else played the role but JC, I wouldn't have liked it.Not your usual Jim Carrey movie.

Misunderstood and underrated
This movie was a victim of timing. Many of today's comedies are made in this mold, but when The Cable Guy came out, I don't think people were ready for it. Take a second look at this great movie, and I think you'll agree that it was highly underrated. Jim Carrey is fantastic, as is Jack Black and Jeanene Garafolo in minimal roles. "if we don't fight 'til the death, they will kill us both..."

About the languages and subtitles (more than the movie)
I purchased this DVD because I am studying French and was looking for movies that had French audio and/or subtitles. I saw The Cable Guy years ago and thought it was a bit ridiculous and a bit funny. Almost like a train wreck you cannot look away from- (and I am referring to nature of Carrey's character, Chip, as the train wreck- not a criticism in production/character development, etc.). The only complaint that I have is that while it's great to find movies I'm already familiar with in other languages than English, it was strange to me that the audio was available in English, French and Spanish but the subtitles were only available in Spanish and Korean. I understand this movie isn't meant to be a language learning tool, but it would have been helpful to have the languages and audio ...

(yet another reason Spanish would have been a better language for me to study) :)

The most underappreciated film of Jim Carrey's career
Okay, just to get this out of the way, I didn't like The Cable Guy either. That's right, the first time I saw it in the theaters when it was first released I walked out thinking it was pretty bad. But after giving it more thought a few months later after seeing it again on cable, I came to realize this movie was pure comedic genius that went unappreciated because it broke the formula of what the world expected of a Jim Carrey movie. Look at Carrey's next film, Liar Liar. It's an utterly mediocre family comedy that takes no risks and somehow it gets called his return to form. That is NOT a return to form. Please go watch a few old In Living Color episodes again. His characters are best when they are ridiculous, dark, or deranged, or all of the above. This is what is at the heart of ... Okay, just to get this out of the way, I didn't like The Cable Guy either. That's right, the first time I saw it in the theaters when it was first released I walked out thinking it was pretty bad. But after giving it more thought a few months later after seeing it again on cable, I came to realize this movie was pure comedic genius that went unappreciated because it broke the formula of what the world expected of a Jim Carrey movie. Look at Carrey's next film, Liar Liar. It's an utterly mediocre family comedy that takes no risks and somehow it gets called his return to form. That is NOT a return to form. Please go watch a few old In Living Color episodes again. His characters are best when they are ridiculous, dark, or deranged, or all of the above. This is what is at the heart of The Cable Guy. It's dark comedy about a self-sabotaging loser with no friends. Every attempt to reach out for companionship is undermined by his desperation, and it's wincingly hilarious at each turn. It's this type of comedy that laid the groundwork for shows like The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Chip Douglas is perhaps one of Carrey's best character roles. Now, if this isn't convincing you, jaded readers, as you sit smirking to yourselves at how misguided I am and how much of a comedy film savant you are, then consider this: What are a few of your favorite recent comedies? If you answered with anything that Judd Apatow was involved with, and the chances of that are pretty good, then you sir are a hypocrite. That's right, in one of his early forays into film Apatow rewrote the script and coproduced The Cable Guy. Indeed, you might consider The Cable Guy one of the first "frat pack" comedies, as Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson all played a big part in making this memorable film. But go on, join the crowd, dismissing it as "the film that almost ruined Jim Carrey's career," you Simpsons quoting simpleton. It's not hard to fall in line. It's just hard to see what's getting trampled by the crowd.
