The Cable Guy

At its core, The Cable Guy follows a story that unfolds like this: 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.

The pacing rewards patient viewers, layering small details that pay off later. The tagline — "There's no such thing as free cable." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.

The Cable Guy is anchored by Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann, and Jack Black, working under the direction of Ben Stiller. The chemistry between the leads is one of the production's quiet strengths.

The script comes from Lou Holtz Jr., whose writing keeps the dialogue sharp. You can trace the full credits and filmographies on IMDb and TMDB.
