The Cable Guy (1996): **



The Cable Guy tunes into the downbeat part of Steven Kovacs’s (Matthew Broderick) life, moving into a new apartment after his marriage proposal to Robin (Leslie Mann) fell flat. At the suggestion of his friend Rick (Jack Black), Steven asks the eccentric cable guy Chip (Jim Carrey) if he could install the movie channels for free. Chip gladly does so and manages to persuade Steven to hang out with him the next day. In return for his friendship, Chip offers advice to Steven on how to fix his relationship and gives him presents. However, when Steven wants to take a step back and spend more time with Robin and his friends, Chip starts to become resentful and actively starts to sabotage Steven’s life.
