Movie Reviews

Synopsis:
When Steven Kovacs orders cable TV for his apartment, he has no idea how much he'll regret it. That's because the installer sent to his home is Chip Douglas, a lonely, lisping, parasitic geek, who just might be psychotic. Chip immediately bonds with vulnerable milquetoast Steve -- and then refuses to leave him alone. Chip's wild behavior proceeds to make his victim's life a living hell, and even jeopardizes Steve's attempt to reconcile with his girlfriend. How far will Chip go... and will Steve ever put his foot down?

Notes:
Released theatrically in the USA June 14, 1996. A Bernie Brillstein/Brad Grey production in association with Licht/Mueller Film Corp. Color by Technicolor; shot in widescreen and SDDS (Sony Dynamic Digital Sound). Additional cast: Harry O'Reilly (Hal) and Misa Koprova (Heather). Although Judd Apatow only received a credit as producer he also was one of the film's writers. He was denied a screenwriting credit by the Writers Guild of America and challenged the ruling, claiming that he wrote much of the movie's dialogue and many of the scenes. Rated BBFC 12 by the British Board of Film Classification.
