Description

Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of 'Porno Password' and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own immortal words, "I can be your best friend... or your worst enemy." Directed by Ben Stiller (Reality Bites).

  • Garbage. Didn’t laugh once.

    37 minutes of this utter garbage was more than enough for me. Unfortunately i had to buy this movie as it wasn’t available on iTunes to download, and although i’ve probably wasted £4 quite often in my life, this has definitely been the biggest waste of £4 yet. I like Jim Carrey and think he’s funny, but he was just annoying in this and not funny whatsoever. I didn’t laugh once. I like silly humour, but this was just viewing for cretins. Just a load of unbelievable rubbish. Don’t waste your money on drivel like this.
  • Great comedy

    I'm not generally a fan of Jim Carey's comedies but this is good movie. The karaoke scene by itself is funny enough alone to watch this movie. One-off Carey's best.
  • Carey and Stiller - awesome funny

    I remember absolutely loving this film when it came out, pure genius..... Others didn't get it and the film got a bit of a slating at the time..... But come on people.... What's not to love, it's Jim Carey.

    This film was amazing! At the very beginning, I was a bit worried I had wasted my money, but I thought to myself "Wait a minute, a Jim Carrey film? Can't be that bad!" and I sat through it. Slowly but surely this film got more and more funny, and more and more tense and dramatic as well (credit to Ben Stiller) I would seriously recommend buying this film.
  • Dark Jim Carrey classic

    Wonderfully dark and sinister disguised in comedy. there is string hint of homosexuality line and sense in it which makes it ambiguous and provocative. must see
  • Found it!

    I remember this film from so many years ago, brilliant seeing as I couldn't find it in HMV or anywhere I went to look. Jim Carrey as a nutcase was wonderful.
