About this movie

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). MPAA Rating: PG-13 © 1996 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

...the talents of Stiller and Carrey! This movie was too heavily panned, it's one of Jim's classics. Only a couple truly cheesy moments, this was full of big, memorable laughs.
