Jane Fonda was so respected as a serious actress that her comedy chops sometimes were overlooked. But it should be remembered that her first real hits (Barefoot in the Park, Cat Ballou) were comedies. This underrated 1977 outing also played for laughs, though it had social-satire underpinnings that still ring true. Fonda and George Segal play an upwardly mobile couple in the time before yuppies--think of them as protoyuppies. But their status-oriented existence suffers what could be a fatal blow when hubby is maneuvered out of his job. Broke and unemployed, they become armed robbers--and discover that crime can pay for them to live in the style to which they've become accustomed. Segal and Fonda have a breezy ease as confused suburbanites who bring the same neurotic thoroughness to crime that they do to their careers. But the script (whose authors include Jerry Belson and Mordechai Richler) never uses either the Robin Hood angle or any other angle that could sustain a sharp edge; as a result, the comedy winds up more cute than knowing. --Marshall Fine

 Best Version January 30, 2009
Frank J. Miller
There are at lease 2 or more versions of this movie.
This one has Jane sitting on the toilet when talking to Dick, and other clips that are cut out on the pg versions.
This one is the orginal.
Just like the one I saw in the show.
Enjoy.

Funny, funny film! November 21, 2008
Richard Franks (Arcadia, Calif)
This is one of the funniest films to come out of Hollywood. Fonda does one of her finest jobs. This film is better than the remake with Jim Carrey.
 Pure fun. November 19, 2008
ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Fun with Dick and Jane starring George Segal and Jane Fonda is such a fun and hilarious film even though the subject is no laughing matter. Dick and Jane live a comfortable and semi-wealthy life but when Dick loses his job, the couple can't afford their lifestyle anymore and they turn to crime (in a funny way of course). This film is comedy so don't expect a serious undertone. I like this movie, so much better than the remake with Jim Carrey. Enjoy!

This vendor shipped extremely quickly. The quality of the DVD is perfect also. I have both is movie and the remake. Both are equally good.
Briliiant Movie August 9, 2007
ray dorrity (New Forest, UK)
This one of my all time favourite comedy movies.
I saw it originally at the movies in 1977, I bought a copy on Betamax (yes, I did have one of those!) I then bought a copy on VHS and now have one on DVD.
The Jim Carrey remake is rubbish. Avoid it like the plague! Stick to the original
The George Segal and Jane Fonda chemistry works well (a bit like Grant & Hepburn in the 1940's)
Buy the movie and prepare for a couple of hours of nice simple fun!
