The Cable Guy's story had potential and there were some pretty good jokes. Jim Carrey's lisp was pretty funny and Matthew Broderick does a good job. Unfortunately, most of the jokes are boring and lame; the movie really isn't that funny. It's really a dark movie with the Cable Guy stalking Steven (Broderick). Everything gets old quickly. The Cable Guy isn't one of Jim Carrey's better films, let a lone not a good film overall.
