THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew 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 your best friend... or your worst enemy."
    Directed by Ben Stiller (Reality Bites), The Cable Guy is "the perfect comedy for the TV generation. Jim Carrey's comic genius is frightening." (George Pannacchio, CBS-TV San Diego)

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Look for early appearances from Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, David Cross, Andy Dick, Janeane Garofalo, Bob Odenkirk, and Kyle Gass.
• This movie was written for Chris Farley, but Farley was unable to assume the role of Chip Douglas due to scheduling conflicts.
• Apparently Jim Carrey could hardly even dribble a basketball, so the scenes in which Carrey plays basketball, all he is doing is miming the action, the actual ball was added in using special effects.
• This was only Owen Wilson's second movie, his first being Bottle Rocket, but more importantly it is the first time we see Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller combine forces, forces that would combine many times over years to come.
• Although only credited as a producer Judd Apatow also claimed he wrote many scenes in this movie, along with a bulk of the dialogue, however he was denied a credit by the Screenwriters Guild Of America. Although he challenged the ruling his name remains uncredited.
