Hated this when it came out and I haven't seen it again since - - though I met a very wise man who loved it and suggested I watch it again one day - - I shall take his advice one day, though I doubt my rating will change from:

1 out of 5.

Very underrated. So many great lines and parts. The jousting/sword scene has to be my favorite though.

Grade: B+/A-

I rewatch this regularly and it always holds up. It is such an underrated comedy gem. Ace Ventura, The Mask, Liar Liar, Dumb and Dumber, and even Batman Forever grab the Carrey headlines, and perhaps rightly so, but none of his films hit the spot for me like The Cable Guy does. Ben Stiller peaked early. It is also musically poignant, with the Medieval Times scene, the final dish scene, and of course, the Jefferson Airplane scene forever making their mark on me.
