Dick (Jim Carrey) and Jane (Tea Leoni) are a typical suburban couple. They have a nice house in a development, she works as a travel agent to supplement his white-collar income, and their son's first language is Spanish thanks to spending so much time with nanny Blanca (Gloria Garayua). Things change in the blink of an eye when Dick is promoted to vice president of communications at Globodyne, where he has worked for years. His first order of business: to appear on a popular news show about business and money and lend his magic touch to news of Globodyne's earnings. But Dick doesn't know that ... Globodyne is about to tank, and in the midst of his interview the situation goes from bad to horrendous and he becomes the scapegoat. In the blink of an eye he is unemployed, his pension is bust, and he can't find a job to save his life. Their front lawn is even repossessed. To make matters worse, Jane quit her job as soon as Dick was promoted, their house has lost value, and their savings was in Globodyne stock. Months later the Harpers find themselves in increasingly dire straits. They resort to paying their nanny with appliances, selling all of their possessions and are facing foreclosure on their house when Dick has a brainstorm: he'll start to steal. Jane joins him, and soon the duo is dressing in elaborate costumes and robbing local businesses and homes. When their final job goes bust, they decide to go for the big heist: scamming Globodyne president Jack McAllister (Alec Baldwin) out of his stolen fortune. Dean Parisot ('Home Fries') directs this remake of the 1977 film of the same name, which has been cheekily updated to incorporate the phenomenon of white-collar crime. Richard Jenkins and Carlos Jacott round out the cast.

Fun with Dick and Jane Jim Carrey falls from the executive washroom to skid row and discovers crime really does pay in this absurdist comedy remake
After surrealist romance (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind) and sinister romps (Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events), Jim Carrey returns to his familiar stomping ground with a remake of the 1977 comedy hit. While there are glimpses of the rubber-necked physical comedian of old, he takes a more restrained approach to the role of Dick Harper, a man thrown into professional freefall when his employers go under.
Like all other employees of Globodyne, Dick slaves away in awe of the executives shut away in their...
A screwball heist comedy for the Enron era, the new Fun With Dick and Jane gives the finger to scandal-ridden big businesses everywhere. Breezy, uneven update of the 1977 George Segal-Jane Fonda vehicle is the rare Hollywood remake that, by daring to reinterpret its source material within a fresh political context, actually has a reason to exist; the results, if not exactly subtle, are still fun enough to fend off any charges of titular false advertising. Fans of Jim Carrey in full-on manic mode should help Sony bank some B.O. during a competitive holiday frame.
Some might argue that by lambasting the giant corporations whose politically entrenched top dogs ...
There's really not much fun to be had with Dick and Jane - or anyone else in this anemic comedy.
Fun with Dick and Jane has occasional moments of amusement, but mostly it's a poor use of talented lead actors T??a Leoni and Jim Carrey.
The details surrounding the premise have been updated from the 1977 original, starring Jane Fonda and George Segal, but it's still a story of a middle-class suburban couple who turn to crime when the husband loses his job.
Carrey plays a cheerful guy who gets a promotion to director of communications for a huge corporation, but his dream job turns sour when he finds out the company is going under, thanks to...
