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.

I found Jim Carrey to be a little annoying in this, but it's still funny

Loved this movie so much is was funny asf 😭
Soo many movie references I got all of the movie references
Again Jim carrey’s performance is amazing in this
Ok here me out I think this movie a sequel to The Truman Show
**STAY WITH ME NOW ** (explanation)🤓
after Truman left the show he was lost and confused because the outside world wasn't perfect or surrounded by him so he never got any friends and got a job he truly loved the TV so he became the cable guy. We never get to know his name in the movie. Plus he was so new to our world that he never made any friends and when he did he stayed too close to them because no-one gave him this much attention after he left the show
That's my theory I can go more in-depth but I don't feel like it 🤷♀️
