    This is one of those movies that makes a lot more sense once you stop looking at it as a typical Jim Carrey comedy. It's weird, awkward, and has a slightly unhinged energy that never really goes away. Carrey is fantastic here because you never quite know what he's going to do next. Half the fun is watching everyone else try to deal with the chaos he brings into every scene. I get why it threw people off when it first came out. It's not always laugh-out-loud funny, and some of the humor comes from making you squirm a little. But that's also what makes it stand out. It feels like a comedy that was allowed to be genuinely strange instead of trying to please everyone. Not everything works, but I'd take something this weird over a dozen forgettable comedies any day.

    Somehow I never saw this growing up. It’s probably for the best because this likely would have become a major part of my personality. Had no idea how stacked the cast was beyond Carrey and Broderick either. I mean, Jack Black, Leslie Mann, Owen Wilson, etc. Also didn’t realize it was directed by Ben Stiller who pretty much doesn’t miss in my opinion (Though, excuse me, Mr Stiller, where the hell is Severance Season 2?). Great movie though, that made me nostalgic for the early Jim Carrey era. He was such a wild card, anything could happen on screen.

    Steven Kovak (Matthew Broderick, well known for Ferris Bueller's Day Off), the main character of the film, has "moved away for a while" (AKA broke up) from his girlfriend and buys a new house and decides to book a cable installation. A work-friend recommends to "slip in an extra $50 and he'll give you all of the movie channels for free", so upon the installation, Steven decides to *nervously* ask the slightly mad cable guy known as 'Chip' (Jim Carrey, well known for Dumb and Dumber) to do so, which he accepts and then befriends. Steven soon realises that Chip is a very unstable guy, being brought up as a only-child by a single mother who was out almost every day and loved watching TV (close to addicted). As he starts to enter his social and family life, something bad happens to Steven. Really bad.
