Review Also known as

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. - IMDb

Чип Дуглас - кабельщик - парень со странностями. Познакомившись со Стивеном Ковачем, он хочет стать его лучшим другом. Узнав Чипа поближе, Стивен понимает, что эта дружба чревата последствиями - шуточный поединок, например, перерастает в бой боксеров среднего веса. Решив избавиться от такого "друга", он вдруг осознает, что это будет совсем не просто. "Я могу быть твоим лучшим другом... или самым страшным врагом" - это сказал Чип. И Стивен знает, что тот не шутит...
