Movie propaganda

In Sony Pictures' larcenous romantic comedy Fun with Dick & Jane, Dick (Jim Carrey) and Jane Harper (Téa Leoni) 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 is confronted with the prospect of losing everything, Dick and Jane are forced to beg, borrow and steal to get it all back.

A remake of the 1977 film starring George Segal and Jane Fonda.

Theatrical report

Despite concerns about the ever-decreasing funniness of Jim Carrey's movies, I found that Fun with Dick & Jane is not as bad as I feared. I also had botherations because I grew up with Janet & John rather than Dick & Jane and they were pretty dull. Just like Australia's modern day Janet and John. (Although Little Johnny Howard is a bastard, he's a dull bastard.)

Things I learned from Fun with Dick & Jane:

Armed robbery is fun.
It's ok to steal from strangers if something of yours has been stolen.
Most robbers are never caught.
Most bosses of big corporations feel really bad when the business fails.

So anyway, Dick and Jane are humorous despite being larcenous and entertaining despite being full of Carreyisms. Fun for dudes with their chicks, dudes with their mates and even dudes on their own.
