Synopsis

It’s a time-honored urban ritual: Slip the cable guy fifty bucks and you’ll get all the movie channels for free. But when Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick) moves into a new apartment, his Cable Guy (Jim Carrey) is not like the others. He doesn’t want your fifty bucks; all he wants is a friend … and he won’t take “no” for an answer.
