Synopsis
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 sons 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 Globodynes earnings. But Dick doesnt 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 cant 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: hell 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 Review
Surely it's about time Jim Carrey got a new routine? For years he's been gurning like an oaf and making the most of every opportunity to go as wildly over the top as a possible. Maybe a New Year will bring us a new Jim? Or maybe not? Based on the 1977 comedy of the same name, "Fun With Dick And Jane" stars Carrey as Dick, a high-powered business exec whose world crumbles when his beloved company nosedives in a matter of seconds. Out of money and with hundreds of others after the same jobs as he is, Dick and his wife Jane (Tea Leoni) are soon forced into drastic action to try and pay the mortgage. Cue a life of crime that inevitably has 'hilarious results'.
You'd have thought that in an age which has seen various high-profile corporations collapse thanks to the antics of unscrupulous officials, those behind this update would have been keen to tap this previously unexploited vein of material. But no, apart from a late attempt to get revenge on a corrupt CEO (Alec Baldwin), we're treated to the sight of Carrey and Leoni carrying out wacky hold-ups hidden behind the kind of disguises you only ever see in the movies. And just to compound the misery, Carrey takes every chance he gets to pull faces, flail his limbs around and generally do all the things we've seen a billion times before. Perhaps the more telling line comes from Jane late in the movie when she tells her hubby "I didn't know you could act?" Please feel free to insert your own joke here.
Obviously Jim Carrey fans are going to find something to smile about during the movie's 90 minute running time - but unless you're a dedicated aficionado, we'd recommend you give "Fun With Dick And Jane" a wide berth.
