Product Description:
Manager Dick Harper and his attractive young wife Jane are used to a comfortable lifestyle. They just build a swimming-pool when Dick is fired very unexpectedly - leaving him with $70000 debt on the house. They try to hide this from the neighbors and just cut down their expenses but soon it's obvious: living from unemployment bonus drives them crazy it's uncertain if they can keep the house. Dick decides that robbing drug stores is their only way out - but this takes more skill than expected! Only as a team Dick and Jane can succeed.DVD FEATURESAnamorphic WidescreenSubtitles: EnglishScene SelectionsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: PG UPC: 043396102286 Manufacturer No: 10228

Remakes are always a gamble, so it's a pleasant surprise that Fun with Dick and Jane pays off with unexpected dividends. It's as entertaining as the 1977 original starring George Segal and Jane Fonda, and the teaming of Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni makes this a safe bet for comedy fans, in spite of a slapstick screenplay that fails to achieve its fullest potential. Rather than attempt a darkly comedic send-up of the Enron scandal that left thousands of stockholders in financial ruin, director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) opts for a lighter, more accessible (read: commercial) satire of corporate greed and cynicism, beginning in the year 2000 when Dick (Carrey) gets a plum promotion as a mega-corporate communications director just as his boss (Alec Baldwin) is preparing to bail out before stock prices plummet. Dick's wife Jane (Leoni) has quit her job as a travel agent, so the corporate bombshell leaves them penniless and desperate, resorting to petty thievery and, eventually, plotting high-stakes revenge against the greedy executives who ruined their lives. As a send-up of financial distress in a ravaged post-Enron economy, Fun with Dick and Jane delivers laughs with just enough pointed humor to give it a strong satirical edge, and Carrey's reliable brand of zaniness is controlled enough to balance nicely with Leoni's more subtle (and woefully underrated) skills as a screen comedienne. And while the "special thanks" end-credits hint at the sharper, more biting satire this might have been, there’s enough fun with Dick and Jane to make this recycled comedy worth a look. --Jeff Shannon

- I Had Fun w/ Dick & Jane
Laughed harder at this movie than most others I've seen. Ran across & watched it for the first time during a mini-marathon rebroadcast on TBS. Contrary to some reviewers I thought that Carrey's comic instincts were right on track & very well-moderated. He even pulled off a few poignant moments as a dramatic actor in the film, conveying both the tragedy & dark comedy around loss of job, prestige & all things attached, as well as the extremes in behavior which that can lead people ...

A remake of Fun with Dick and Jane

When I talk about this movie, the thing I say is it has "something for everyone". Ladies will enjoy the "love story" and men will love the robberies and deceit (or maybe the other way around with some couples). I am a big Carrey fan; he is slapstick with depth. I have yet to see the original or read the book, but I plan to. This film could have easily been made into a dark comedy, considering the storyline, but Carrey keeps it light and the on screen ...

- Worth Seeing
This is not a classic and it is not realistic, but it is fun and there are parts that are great. I love Leoni and Carey together. The best is when he loses his job, he tries to turn to stealing as a means to pay for his bills. It it what it is - a great way to spend and hour and 1/2.

- Best Jim Carrey movie ever!
It's a remake of the 1970's movie but Jim Carrey makes it all better. I only can say I strongly recommend this film.
