Additional InformationWhen a young urbanite calls to order cable TV for his apartment he gets much more than he bargained for, as the demented title character arrives and proceeds to insinuate his way into the beleaguered customer's life. Raised by television as a child and starved for human contact, the "cable guy" is a darkly hilarious carnation of the modern age. Carey's manic karaoke rendition of Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody to Love" is a twisted highlight.
ReviewsVariety - ...Genuinely funny..., Entertainment Weekly - ...Amusing....Stiller works with craftsmanly precision..., The Sunday Times - Berserkly brilliant: Jim Carrey in full flood.
