Carrey stars as Chip Douglas,The Cable Guy summoned to attend to single-guy Steven Kovacs’ (Broderick) malfunctioned television. A fanatical perfectionist with his job, Chip is a man starving for human companionship. He fixates on Steven as perfect best friend material, and Steven—a wimpy sort—gets hooked into hanging out with him.
