When Steven (Matthew Broderick) gets the courage to ask his cable installer Chip – played with demented glee by Jim Carrey – to hook him up with free channels, he happily obliges. Misunderstanding Steven’s intent, Chip thinks he has a new best friend and his fondness quickly turns into obsession. An instant cult classic upon release, Ben Stiller directs Carrey (at the height of his ‘90s fame) in a psychological thriller masked as a dark comedy. Featuring a stacked supporting cast that includes Leslie Mann, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black.
