The Cable Guy:
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.”
Fun With Dick and Jane:
Years of hard work finally pay off for Dick Harper (Jim Carrey) when he is promoted to vice president at Globodyne, a worldwide leader in the consolidation of media properties. But exactly one day in his new job, Globodyne is destroyed by an Enron-like calamity – and he is left holding the bag. Dick’s sudden reversal of fortune has left him little time to set money aside for a rainy day. Now it’s raining buckets as Dick and his loving wife, Jane (Tea Leoni) watch in horror as their deluxe suburban home, their luxury cars and their status-conscious friends quickly vanish into thin air. After playing by the rules and working single-mindedly to build a comfortable life for his family, Dick is utterly unprepared to give up the American dream. Taking a lesson from his corrupt employer, however, Dick hits on a brilliant idea: if stealing was good enough for his boss, then it’s good enough for him. Using his newfound skills, he and Jane exact hilarious revenge and teach big business a lesson.
