The Cable Guy (1996)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: Technicolor 96m
Director: Ben Stiller
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Jim Carrey, Leslie Mann, George Segal, Diane Baker

Synopsis:

The eponymous technician wreaks havoc on the world of a young professional who decides to make up for his unfulfilled love life with a dose of cable TV.

Review:

The real star of the film is relegated to second fiddle - deliberately so - but the intense, camp histrionics of this comedian tend to unbalance the whole proceedings and Broderick just looks uncomfortable. Memorably mannered moments but the sentiment kills it and the ending is desperate.
