CGiii Comment
We here at CGiii have made it no secret - we do not like Ben Stiller (or Adam Sandler)...are they related? They share the same cinematic DNA - talentless and ubiquitous.
Stiller (and Sandler) are as persistent and irritating as a bloodthirsty mosquito...with similar effects...nausea and death.
Throw Carrey into the works...there is no future for mankind.

The(ir) Blurb...
Steven Kovak has been kicked out of his apartment by his girlfriend. Steven has a new apartment, and decides to slip the cable guy (Chip) $50 for free cable. Steven then fakes an interest in Chip's line of work. However Chip takes this to heart trying to become Steven's best bud. When Steven no longer wants to be Chips friend the man who can do it all goes on an all out assault to ruin Steven's life. In the backdrop is the delicate sub-plot of the trial of a former kid star for murdering his brother.
