Steven was a total a$$hole


No wonder the Cable Guy snapped on him.Yet, the dickhead of the film gets called the victim. I'd chill with Chip anyday.

There's a lot of negative sentiment toward Steve, and I agree he was a dickhead. Still, there's getting around it; Chip was out of line. He was forcing a clearly unwanted friendship on Steve. If Steve was a jerk, it's beside the point.

reply

^agreed. I do think Steven was a dick, I mean all Chip wanted was to hang out and have a new friend. But given the circumstances and just how damn far Chip went to force it upon Steven, it's easily safe to say that Steven was a victim.

reply

He was OK. He wanted his TV fixed, to get back with his girl friend and to see a little less of "Chip". And he did his best to rescue "Chip" at the end, after he'd kidnapped Robyn and generally screwed his life up. Hardly the stuff of movie villains and total a$$holes!🐭

reply

Chip was cool (in his own way), but the fact is, he imposed himself into Steven's life after he... forced a friendship with him.

That being said, it's fun to watch all of this happen.


Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

Perhaps, but, when someone i meet lies ceaselessly to me, I tend to distance myself.
