🎬 The Cable Guy 2 (2025)
👉 Jim Carrey, Matthew Broderick, Leslie Mann
Friendship isn’t always optional — especially when Chip Douglas is back on the job. The Cable Guy 2 revives Jim Carrey’s most unhinged character for a new chapter of obsession, chaos, and hilariously dark comedy.
Years after Steven Kovacs (Matthew Broderick) barely escaped Chip’s suffocating “friendship,” life has finally settled into something resembling normal. He has his career, his family with Robin (Leslie Mann), and a life blissfully free of late-night intrusions from an overly attached cable installer. But just when Steven thinks the past is behind him, a knock at the door — and the flicker of a new cable box — proves otherwise.
Chip is back, reinvented for the streaming age. He’s no longer just installing coaxial lines and satellite dishes; now he’s everywhere — Wi-Fi, smart TVs, security cameras, and every device that connects Steven’s home to the outside world. With a smile that swings from goofy to terrifying in a heartbeat, Chip worms his way back into Steven’s orbit, insisting that this time their friendship will “really work.”
What begins as awkward encounters quickly escalates into sabotaged Zoom calls, hijacked smart homes, and a digital nightmare where Chip seems to control every screen, every password, and every moment of Steven’s life. Once again, Steven and Robin find themselves trapped between Chip’s needy affection and his escalating threats, forced to figure out how to sever ties with someone who refuses to be unplugged.
Jim Carrey delivers another brilliantly unpredictable performance, shifting from rubber-faced slapstick to skin-crawling menace with the flick of a smile. Matthew Broderick grounds the madness with exasperated charm, while Leslie Mann provides heart and strength as the one who refuses to let Chip tear their lives apart again.
Equal parts comedy and psychological thriller, The Cable Guy 2 updates its cult-classic premise for a world where screens dominate every aspect of daily life. It’s a satirical, spine-tingling reminder that some connections are best left cut — because when Chip Douglas wants to be your best friend, logging off might not be enough.
