“The Cable Guy” is no doubt the worst film Jim Carrey ever appeared in. The dark themes (including stalking), uneven plot lines, and unfunny dialogue plague this movie, due to just plain bad directing by Ben Stiller (“Reality Bites” 1994) and terrible writing by Lou Holtz Jr.
Co-stars include Matthew Broderick, Jack Black, Owen Wilson, George Segal, Diane Baker, Eric Roberts, Charles Napier, Janeane Garofalo, Leslie Mann, Andy Dick, Amy Stiller, Kathy Griffin, Bob Odenkirk, and Emilio Rivera. “The Cable Guy” did make some profit in theatrical release for producer Judd Apatow, Licht/Mueller Film Corporation, Columbia Pictures, and Sony Pictures Releasing.
