The Cable Guy | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Songs. And when he meets single gjy Steve Kovacs (Matthe 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 yours best friend ... or your worst enemy."

Synopsis: Steven Kovak decides to slip the cable guy (Chip) $50 for free cable. Chip takes this to heart trying to become Steven's best bud. When Steven no longer wants to be Chips friend the man who can do it all tries to ruin Steven's life...
