15 Movies That Were Ahead Of Their Time
9. The Cable Guy
It seems that the thing to take away from this list and the lesson to be learned from Jim Carrey’s career is that his films suffer financially when he tries something new. The Cable Guy is the reason for this outlook. Panned by both fans and critics, The Cable Guy (and Carrey especially) was far too dark and jarring for people in the mid-nineties. It speaks volumes to Carrey’s ambition, and his talent, that The Cable Guy is now held as a cult classic.
