Overview

When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

<em>'The Cable Guy'</em> should've worked for me. It didn't. I'm a big fan of Jim Carrey movies but I found this to be dreadful, it's the first film of his that I've found to be forcibly poor. It kinda leaves a bad taste too, given the main two characters are unlikeable. Nothing about this please
