The Cable Guy (1996)
Watch this movie again.
Jim Carrey is great in this film. He gives such a terrific performance, filled with twists and turns, subtlety and really broad moments, honest emotion and completely making fun of himself.
Matthew Broderick is good as the straight guy and Ben Stiller does a great job of directing a comedic version of Cape Fear. Maybe it's not everybody's cup of tea, but I think that people were way too hard on this movie when it came out. I think some people might not have realized that alot of the scenes in the film were from television shows and movies that Jim Carrey's character had seen so many times he knew them by heart. Scary, but funny. It's a dark movie, but I really liked it. I think some people missed the boat on this one.
The Third Wheel (2002)
Pleasantly surprised.
I just saw this movie and I really like it. It was far from perfect, but I thought the actors were really good. Denise Richards really enjoyable, Luke Wilson was fun, Ben was really funny, and Matt Damon had a good part too. The writer, Jay Lacopo, is also in it and I thought he was hysterical. I saw Waking Up In Reno which was directed by the same director and that movie was kind of cheesey. I think he's a bad director. This film is choppy, but the actors are good enough, and the script is funny enough that it makes me wonder what Miramax was thinking. With all of the terrible comedies they release you would think this one, with this star power, would have been a priority.
