Truly Dreadful Film

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Fun with Dick and Jane will thoroughly entertain you. It's funny, easy to watch, and will turn to ridicule those callous financiers who have ruined the world economy.You get attached to Jim Carrey's character almost immediately as well as his family. The crisis comes almost right during the opening dumps them into financial trouble on the spot. Their efforts are desperate, yet presented in a comedic fashion. You root for them, but they can't seem to get the better of the situation.This very real situation is solved in a very unrealistic fashion that could have been daydreamed by an enthusiastic young mind. It makes for thigh-slapping laughs and lots of mirth. It's a great mix. Who wouldn't want to be the hero of their economic difficulties?Recommended to everyone.

I'd like to share an experience I'd while watching this movie yesterday. I'd just come back from office, flopped on the bed and took out my shoes while flipping channels on the TV at same time. Just then, one of the channels began to air Fun with Dick & Jane. The moment I saw the opening rolls showing Jim Carrey sprinting out of his house, I became rooted to my bed. He's one of my all-time fave actors.Throughout the 90mins(the channel didn't even give an ad break), I didn't move an inch, not even an inch! I didn't even want to change out of my office wear fearing that I might lose even a small moment of comedy from Carrey or Tea Leoni. That's how entertained I was with this movie.So many funny scenes of Carrey and Leoni that I can't pick a favorite really. Both give a great performance. Didn't realise that Tea Leoni could pack so much fun in her, after watching her very serious character in Deep Impact(1998). Every other cast here were just kinda normal supporting actors for these two guys, including "The Shadow" Alec Baldwin. Ya, he was just a shadow here too :-) Maybe the ending could have been a bit more lively. I felt the state of shock that Alec Baldwin's character goes through in the end wasn't portrayed convincingly. The whole shot that included Baldwin, Carrey, Leoni, the media & crowd of others felt a bit weak to me.Verdict: Still, a great comedy, great direction, great performances. That's it, review over!

Well, it's interesting to see Jim Carrey doing works different from his usual ones; okay, maybe this isn't THAT different from them, but at least he doesn't sound like a goofy retard anymore. In this short flick, Carrey's character is a desperated man robbing and cheating everyone around because his company broke and he's totally out of money. For a comedy movie, I believe there are too few funny moments, but at least they don't try to hard and fail like many of Carrey's comedies do. The plot itself isn't too elaborated or developed; the story is told in an entertaining way so the spectator doesn't have time to get sick, tired or lost in the story. Agree with me or not, but I liked this film better than "The Truman Show"-- and I must say I'm ready to be offended and receive thousand of negatives reactions to this opinion of mine.

A wildly underrated remake of the Jane Fonda/George Segal classic --- proving that it's never a bad time to say f### y## to corporate America. Jim Carrey & Tea Leoni find themselves way over their heads after Carrey is run out of his job by greedy boss Alec Baldwin. They plot revenge after trying (in the most bizarre ways imaginable)to make ends meet. Attempting everything from bank robbery to migrant day labor, Carrey is brilliant and Leoni is a perfect match for his hyperactivity. Their Sonny & Cher bit is lunacy and Carrey's run in with some ruthless INS officers has to be seen to be believed. Baldwin, affecting a southern drawl, is suitably nasty and the supporting cast includes Michael Higgins, Angie Harmon, and Richard Jenkins, as the couple's boozy and very unlikely savior.
