Fun with Dick and Jane Reviews

Jim Carrey has made many comedies through the years and even though some of them were hugely successful, some ofhers didn't work very well and this movie was one of those. With this in mind, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but eventually, I thought it was actually pretty good. I mean, I haven't seen the original version so I can compare both movies but I thought that this remake was quite entertaining. I mean, the whole thing is pretty simple, you either like Jim Carrey's humor or you don't but, usually, I find him pretty funny and he was pretty good in this flick. In a small part, Alec Baldwin was quite hilarious as well. The story was eventually entertaining enough but you shouldn't expect anything too thoughtful since it is and remains a pop-corn comedy. You can obviously slam it because it criticizes corportate business when in fact, it is just a commercial picture trying to make some bucks. Personally, I think that if you don't take it too seriously, it is actually quite enjoyable. Eventually, they did release this movie just a couple of years before the current economic recession and I think that they got lucky because people usually don't dig comedies about a recession when they themselves have to deal with it. To conclude, I actually liked the damned thing and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you enjoyed the previous comedies starring Jim Carrey.

I am not a fan of Jim Carrey but decided to rent this movie as it had decent ratings. The two main characters go from having a cushy lifestyle to foreclosure after the company Dick works for crashes. They struggle to keep their house and go to desperate measures to gain money. Their struggle for survival is amusing and made me laugh a few times. The storyline and plot was decent but nothing spectacular, but was entertaining. This movie would be good for anyone who enjoys Jim Carrey movies or comedy movies.

Jim Carrey as Dick Harper. In this movie Dick like his job and his wife Jane she has a hard work. Dick and Jane lost they jobs and then they have no money, no power and no hot tub. This movie is funny.

Fun With Dick and Jane was anything but funny. It may have had its moments, but above anything it was a heartwarming attempt to slap big business in the face. Talk about a cliche, big business Hollywood hires an egomaniacal Jim Carrey for $20M to portray a Robin Hood-like ending only to have credits rolling out thanks to Enron, WorldCom etc., go figure.
