6.0 / 10 · TMDB

When recently single Steven moves into his new apartment, cable guy Chip comes to hook him up—and doesn't let go.

He begins stalking Steven, who's left to fend for himself because no one else can believe Chip's capable of such behaviour.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film operates in a light register — but not superficially. Behind each joke is an observation about people, not just a desire to amuse.

Goes down easy, leaves a good aftertaste. Not every joke lands equally — but the overall tone holds.

For those who just want to relax. Asks nothing — just time and a willingness to smile.

Director: Ben Stiller
