Jim Carrey is completely unhinged as the bizarre cable guy who insinuates his way into the life of one of his clients (Broderick) in this mid-‘90s cult classic. Reportedly starting life as a much lighter comedy, THE CABLE GUY went through several rewrites, with each version getting darker and darker. It went so dark, in fact, that director Stiller, star Carrey, and co-writer/producer Judd Apatow started to pull back during production resulting in the perfect mix of sinister and silly in the finished film.
