This Film is on of the best films of all time, Jim Carrey is amazing as a wacky 'Cable Guy', Its a must have for any Ipod owner!
Great Film, Great Price
I was looking for a cheap film, which I knew was going to be good. When I found the Cable Guy was only 99p, I jumped at the chance of renting and oh boy it did not disappoint. Jim Carrey plays an obsessed unstable cable guy who has been deprived from friendship and care all his life, with nothing but a TV in place. The acting is top notch, a few famous faces pop up here and there, so it's deffinately worth watching!
