One of the most underrated comedies of all time.
July 27, 2009
In all, about a third of the film (most of it contained in three extended sequences) is audaciously funny and genuinely disturbing. The rest will sorely test the devotion of Carrey's fans.

The Cable Guy is certainly a cautionary tale, but not about the dangers of TV.
February 26, 2016
...a sporadically engaging yet often misguided thriller that passes the time well enough, admittedly, but accomplishes little else.
November 14, 2009
The writer and director can't keep pace with the dark places Carrey takes the script.

Stiller's film ranks as an honourable failure.

A twisted comedy about TV addiction. Teens OK.
July 28, 2009
It's a fairly interesting effort -- much more ambitious than most Carrey vehicles.
June 18, 2002
Much of it plays like a personal boob tube with Carrey trapped inside, determined to act his way out in a freak show of mugging. He's a disturbing mixture of psychopath and lonely soul. Here, as always, a little Carrey goes a long way.

Carrey runs riot, and Stiller won't stop him.
March 26, 2009
While some of its antic set pieces are genuinely funny, this fuzzy-focus outing is hopelessly disconnected and ultimately unsatisfying.
July 27, 2009
Aiming, perhaps, for a neat double helix of black humor and prankishness, they've ended up with a pretty ugly granny knot.
