Comedy classic or comedy letdown?

Yes, I laugh my socks off each time I watch.

No, it's rubbish and I don't know what Jim was thinking.

Maybe, it's kinda funny but not his best by any means.

The Cable Guy was amazing to me , i didn't see that it's funny , it's to me about a story of a man trying to find a friend , an amazing friend to love :cry:

The Cable Guy was a kinda weird movie, but overall really good.
I laugh whenever I watch it; it isn't my favorite of Jim's movies,
but I liked it.

Well, I don't know what to choose from the above. Did I laugh my ass off? I think that's the wrong question. In my eyes it's an original movie, a dark comedy with a big wink. Kinda like a satire, but not that much. ANd therefore, I love the Cable Guy.

The Cable Guy doesn't come into my top 5 favorite Jim movies and i am not sure why, probably i haven't seen it too many times and haven't actually tried to like it too much :) BUT, i have to confess something: i was looking for a topic on this movie because i have to get this off my chest *looks around, making sure no strangers are going to read what she is going to type* : probably one of my favorite all time Jim Carrey scenes comes from this movie. Wanna know which one is it?

Well, being a girl and being a little smoochy over Jim, the scene when Chip first comes to Steven's apartment and he is searching for the 'perfect spot' makes me lose touch with reality...that particular scene when he finds the 'perfect spot' and he says: 'is this what you want, huh? is this where you need it??' and then circles that spot with his finger saying 'how about this...? oh yeaaah!! that's your sweet spot right there!' made my jaw drop and drool come out of my mouth. Literally, i was left with my mouth hanging open and with the secret (well, not anymore :P) desire to have my sweet spot discovered by Jim just like he does in 'The Cable Guy'!!
