| The Cable Guy |
| Rated: | PG-13 |
| Stars: | Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick |
| Score: |  |
From what I've heard, The Cable Guy is supposed to be a
comedy. Then why wasn't this movie funny? Oh, sure, it had its
moments, but they were few and not all that great.
The movie
was dark, casting Carrey in the role of the antagonist, a place
where he just doesn't fit. The film itself barely has a plot,
and just kind of goes without much direction. It's the
kind of movie that just exists. You can sit through and
watch it, but when it's over, you ask yourself, "Why did I watch
this?" You see, there's no point. Yes, it's true that a lot of
comedies are pretty pointless, but this comedy ISN'T FUNNY!
Look at, for instance, one of the Naked Gun movies. Take out all
the sight gags, and what are you left with? Right. The Cable
Guy. I would be very interested to hear from anybody who liked this
movie. Wait. No, I don't. I just want to push this film back and try
to forget about it by seeing a better movie like The Rock or
The Arrival. If you're considering seeing Jim Carrey's latest,
you should change your mind. Trust me. Have I ever lied to you? :)
