Product Description
Product Description
Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of 'Porno Password' and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own immortal words, "I can be your best friend...or your worst enemy." Directed by Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder, Zoolander), and co-starring Leslie Mann, Jack Black, and Owen Wilson, THE CABLE GUY 15th Anniversary Blu-Ray has never looked as good, featuring an all-new commentary with Ben Stiller, Judd Apatow, and Jim Carrey, and over 50 minutes of Never-Before-Seen Extras!

If you think Jim Carrey's comedy is an acquired taste, think of The Cable Guy as a potent bottle of bittersweet wine. The film has a lingering aftertaste, but it is just a bit too dark, a bit too extreme to invite another serving. On the other hand, you've got to give Carrey some credit for risking his $20-million paycheck (and a big chunk of box-office revenue) on this black comedy. A needy, psychologically unbalanced cable-television installer (Carrey) forces his friendship upon an unsuspecting bachelor (Matthew Broderick) who has just broken up with his fiancée. The movie gets edgier and more desperate--and in some respects funnier--as Carrey's cable guy gradually goes crazy. Director Ben Stiller manages to pack some pointed social commentary into the movie's many humorous detours. Although it was a box-office disappointment, The Cable Guy is nevertheless a daring comedy for those who have had their fill of Ace Ventura. --Jeff Shannon

Because of its rejection by audiences upon its release, this film was never given a proper release on DVD. A bare-bones copy exists and is worth every penny of the $5 you probably spent on it. I was shocked to hear of a Blu-Ray release given its previous reputation as a mediocre comedy by a bunch of people with little experience (and Jim Carrey acting out of character). I never agreed with that reputation and therefore was pleased to see so much effort was being put into this new release.
All efforts paid off in a big way. The sound and picture are about as good as its gets in HD. Colors are crisp, contrast is sharp, and every nook and cranny is observable. While that is a draw in itself, the special features are what merit the upgrade from the DVD. Commentary by Judd Apatow, Ben Stiller, and Jim Carrey provides insight into the making of the film and demonstrates how much fun it must have been to work with the three of them together. Their childish banter and constant joking make for a delightful listen, and their reactions to the film are almost as hilarious as the film itself. The best part is that they keep going and going until the movie's end cuts them off. The deleted/extended scenes offer a vision of the film which could have been much darker as well as fills in the gaps left by the theatrical trailer (which featured a lot of cut scenes in it). The gag reel is very funny and shows off Carrey's typical off-screen antics. The behind-the-scenes features offer a chance for fans to witness how the film came together. Coupled with the commentary, a fully developed concept of the movie emerges, one that demonstrates just how ahead of its time this film was.
I would recommend that any fan of this film spend the money and upgrade from their DVD copy. It is entirely worth it.
