When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, but when Steven tries to end the 'friendship', Chip shows his dark side. He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

Such a frustrating disappointment

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I saw this movie twice and liked it a bit better the second viewing and found Carrey's character to be a bit more likeable than I did previously. But I have come to the realization I really have to be in a very specific mood to watch AND enjoy a dark comedy.I didn't love this move and I didn't hate it and I think it's safe to say there are a lot more enjoyable comedies out there I would rather watch or rewatch before I ever put this VHS tape in again.I would recommend The Truman Show or Dumb and Dumber if you want to get some Carrey comedy in your system before recommending this one.

Stupid movie with a bunch of no talent morons...how anyone thinks carry is funny is beyond me...he isn't funny...just plain stupid...and for stiller..he is even worse...the only reason he is around is because of his irritating parents!Stupid movie with a bunch of no talent morons...how anyone thinks carry is funny is beyond me...he isn't funny...just plain stupid...and for stiller..he is even worse...the only reason he is around is because of his irritating parents!

I just have to say I love this film. I have heard it be called Carrey's worst film and I couldn't disagree more. It is one of my favorites of his and I think it is completely underrated. It is important to remember this isn't a straight up comedy but rather a comedic psychological thriller so it isn't about having non stop laughs but rather an interesting story with occasional laughs. I love its darker/twisted story and all the actors pull their weight. I think Jim Carrey is great in this and gives his character a good level of depth so that he isn't just 2D wacky character but one with a deeper reason behind his eccentric behavior. All in all I recommend people watch this with a more open mind and without coming into it expecting it to be a typical Carrey comedy.

This is maybe the worst movie ever made. And that comes from a person who usually loves everything Jim Carrey does. And actually he isn't doing anything wrong, he's a great actor, not only in "Dumb and dumber", but in this movie to. The thing is, he should never have participated in this film. The script, the story and everything else with it makes me sick. I bought the movie for about 50 cent, and I can tell you this, I want my 50 cent an 96 minutes back. The beginning of the movie seemed quite interesting, and you thought, this could be one of those movies like "Ace ventura" or "Me, myself and Irene". But then the minutes past and you started wondering when the funny parts would come. The sad truth is, they never came, until the end when the movie ended.
