Jim Carrey stars in this (surprise, surprise) loony comedy about an overly eccentric cable guy who attaches himself to an unsuspecting, average cable customer. The thing about this cable guy is that if you want to be friends, he'll be great. You get free cable, a big screen TV, a fun time playing with gladiators, etc. However, in the event when you're sick of this freak and you no longer wish to be friends with him, he'll make your life a living nightmare. This rather cooky, but all-around enjoyable Carrey flick is a must for his fans, but others won't find it to be anything special.
