Last night I got to introduce my wife to the movie The Cable Guy from 1996. It stars Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Jack Black, Leslie Mann, and a few other fantastic characters! It’s the story about a guy who orders cable, Jim Carrey shows up, and his antics ensue, all while trying to get the girl he loves to fall back in love with him. It’s extremely hilarious, but it’s totally dated. The humor aspects to it are great, but for the youth of today, and future generations, they might not understand a lot of the humor in it. For the people who grew up with cable, or in that time period, it’s absolutely hilarious. My wife Dakota had never seen the movie before, and here are her initial thoughts: “I really loved this movie! How did any of the actors keep a straight face with Jim Carrey acting the way he does!? I laughed through the whole movie, but the kids won’t understand it. It’s a great laugh to watch casually.”
I give this movie 3 1/2 stars out of 5
