Amazon.com 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

hillarious March 14, 2010 David A. Smith (Webberville, Mi, USA) jim carrey makes another hillarious comedy. this movie is awesome. i recommend it for eveyone
Fun With Dick and Jane January 8, 2010 Arnita D. Brown (USA) Dick and Jane are in love and living the American dream--until one day it becomes an American nightmare. When the company Dick works for becomes involved in an Enron-like scandal and he takes the rap, Dick and Jane are forced with the prospect of losing everything. After playing by the rules and getting burned, Dick has an idea: If stealing was good enough for his boss, then it's good enough for him. Using his newfound skills, he and Jane decide to exact hilarious revenge and teach big business a lesson. If you are a Jim Carey fan, you will laugh and have a very good time watching this movie. I think it's the perfect comedy, it's a movie that you sit back, relax and watch on the weekends.
Fun with Dick and Jane is hilariously funny! October 1, 2009 CharMarie Fun with Dick and Jane is the funniest movie I have seen in a very long time. Jim Carrey & Tea Leoni are at their best. I wish to thank Amazon for having such a wide selection of movies to choose from with very reasonable prices. I have purchased movies (and books) before this and will continue to.
Dear unemployed peeps, you haven't seen anything yet! September 14, 2009 Medusa (Troy, MI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Did your dreams disintegrate... few times? Did u lose gas/energy yet??? Can't pay your bills but still hope to? Do you still think that education and honesty are the answer???
Oops, let's laugh at ourselves and join the crowd. Great movie...
Remake Success August 27, 2009 VuzzMaster Remakes are usually not done very well but in this case it went very well. I don't know how you can go wrong with Jim Carrey. Even his dumb movies are great. On the other hand Fun with Dick and Jane was good for its dynamic characters and plot, not for its dumbness.
