   Is the Cable Guy a Comedy or a satire?

   • "The Cable Guy" can never decide whether it wants to be a comedy, a drama, a thriller, or a social satire. Not enough of the comedy is funny, or of the same type; any attempt at drama is undercut because of the annoying lisping of Carrey's character, and the movie is never particularly thrilling because we don't care about any of the characters.

   Jun 14, 1996 · Reviews. The Cable Guy. Roger Ebert June 14, 1996. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. We want to like Jim Carrey. A movie that makes us dislike him is a strategic mistake. The opening scenes of "The Cable Guy" are promising; Carrey seems to be playing a variation on his usual hyperkinetic goofball.

   In retrospect, I think I was simply too young to get this movie. In short, Cable Guy is a dark comedy about a person who is desperate to be somebody's best friend. However, the movie also dabbles in social commentary, particularly regarding the influence of mass media on society.

   Roger Ebert included The Cable Guy in his worst of the year list for 1996, though colleague Gene Siskel disagreed, calling it "a very good film. [Carrey's] best since The Mask". Ebert found Carrey's "bizarre" and "creepy" performance undermined the entire story, and felt the movie was more of a dark comedy than was necessary.
