Cốt truyện

Here is the plot summary of "The Cable Guy": When recently single Steven Kovacs (Matthew McConaughey) moves into his new apartment, he is greeted by cable guy Chip Douglas (Jim Carrey), a cheerful and eccentric installer who seems overly enthusiastic about setting up his TV and phone services. At first, Steven finds Chip's antics amusing, but as the days go by, Chip's behavior becomes increasingly intrusive and annoying. Initially, Chip is just overzealous in his desire to be Steven's pal, showering him with unwanted attention and bizarre gifts. However, when Steve starts to distance himself from Chip, the cable guy's demeanor takes a dark turn. Chip becomes obsessed with getting closer to Steven, showing up at his doorstep uninvited, making strange phone calls, and even hacking into his voicemail. As Steven tries to fend off Chip's advances, he begins to realize that this seemingly harmless eccentric has some very sinister motivations. With the help of his co-worker and friend, Rick (Dennis Leary), Steven must find a way to outsmart Chip and reclaim control over his life. Throughout the film, Jim Carrey's impressive comedic range is on full display as Chip Douglas, who veers wildly from slapstick humor to unsettling menace. The tension builds to a climactic confrontation between Steve and Chip, leaving audiences laughing and gasping in equal measure.
