Kyle F @RT62663011 Sep 5, 2026 Slightly under appreciated. Definitely has its moments. Carrey’s doing his thing, Stiller was probably too restrained by the studio for his true vision. Either way the soundtrack was awesome!!!! See more Tyler S @tylerking24 Aug 26, 2026 I think what hurt this movie the most was its inconsistency. You can tell they tried with the comedy and they tried with the thriller aspect. But nothing meshed in my opinion. The best part was Jim's performance of "Somebody to Love." See more John B @johnbalash Aug 25, 2026 Finally watched this! I think if Ben Stiller had starred in it and not just directed, either as The Cable Guy or Matthew Broderick’s character, it would have been more well received. It’s sort of like an extended skit from The Ben Stiller show. There’s also a message showing how too much media consumption can lead to people being unable to manage interpersonal relationships. See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 22, 2026 Jim Carrey is completely unhinged here, and that's what makes the movie so entertaining. It starts like a silly comedy but gradually becomes more disturbing, awkward, and even a little creepy. The humor can be hit or miss, and the story gets ridiculous at times, but the strange tone and Carrey's performance made it a really enjoyable watch. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Aug 18, 2026 The Cable Guy's dark flashes of thought-provoking, subversive wit are often -- but not always -- enough to counter its frustratingly uneven storytelling approach. See more Blackheart 1 @Blackheart9699 Aug 11, 2026 Hated this movie when I saw it in the theaters. Watched it again a few years later and I didn’t understand why I didn’t like it the first go round. This movie makes me laugh every time I watch it. See more Read all reviews
