srdjan_veljkovic First half of this movie is a pretty solid comedy that is not done by some usual formula. It goes for a non-extreme fun (and that is saying something when you have Jim Carrey on board), trying to do "smart humor", which mostly works.Second half, for whatever reason, descends into well known Hollywood formulas. It's not bad, just, it's a little let-down after the first half.It's both fun and funny, not very much so, but, quite enough. Tea Leoni is in her maybe best comedic role, and she looks better than ever (she was not a girl any more, but a very good looking woman). Her joy of being able to cook something when she quits her job, thus having time to actually do it right, is very genuine and funny. The general theme of the movie is also interesting, if, especially in the second half, not fully explored.About the only significant issue I found with the movie is that some supporting roles, like Angie Harmon's, were not explored more, as there was some fun to be had there. Some supporting roles, not all, mind you.It would have been interesting if a sequel of sorts was made after the financial markets crash in 2008., to see how these two would have handled that.

Davis P Fun with dick and Jane is a remake of the 1970s Jane Fonda comedy film. This movie really did exceed my expectations and was laugh out loud hilarious! Jim Carey and Tea Leoni have great chemistry together and they really were the perfect casting choices for their roles. Tea was particularly hilarious here, I found myself laughing my butt off with her lines and the way in which she delivered them. I'd also like to recognize Alec Baldwin, he plays his jerkish greedy CEO character very well! The comedy here is both physical and used with the actors' lines. I love this movie so much because it achieves it's goal of comedy and quality filmmaking. I would totally suggest this film for teens and adults looking for a good time filled with laughs, children really won't be interested in it. The ending is satisfying and clever. The only part I didn't really care for was the scene where Dick is taunting a man they are stealing from and his antics aren't too funny, and it lasts too long. But other than that, it's all good! 9/10.

sddavis63 Jim Carrey isn't at the top of my list of favourite actors. He's funny, but way too often he simply goes overboard and it seems as though he's trying to be too funny - with the end result being that he isn't funny, he's just irritating. When he keeps himself more in check, though (and actually acts, rather than trying too hard to be funny) he can put on a pretty good performance, and in "Fun With Dick and Jane" he manages to do that, teamed very effectively with Tea Leoni.What really makes this movie work is not so much the comedy (although it is quite funny at times) but the sympathy you feel for the characters, which - because of the economic troubles in the modern world - is probably even greater today than it was in 2005 when this movie was made. Dick is a corporate executive on the rise, who as the movie opens gets his big promotion to Vice President of a big company, only to be left stammering incoherently in a television interview when the company goes under while he's on the air. He and Jane find themselves in desperate circumstances, unable to find work, having to sell everything they own, finally faced with the foreclosure of their house. This was funny and somewhat sad all at the same time. You could laugh at what was happening on screen and at the same time really understand their plight, while at the same time hoping you never have to face what they're facing. Finally, with literally no other options, Dick and Jane take up robbing stores and banks to try to save their home. Everything worked very well up to that point in the movie.I didn't like the revenge angle, though. Eventually, this turned into Dick and Jane finding a way to make Jack McAllister (Alec Baldwin) - who had been the president of the company Dick worked for - pay for his dishonesty. Somehow the movie lost its sense of fun with that, and the end result was a little too "feel-good," as their plot against McAllister worked perfectly and to the benefit not just of Dick and Jane, but of all the company's former employees. It was nice to see McAllister pay up, but to me it didn't really fit too well with what I was feeling about the movie up to that point.This is quite a fun ride for a little over an hour, then the remainder of the movie gets a bit bogged down with this plan directed against McAllister. What really makes this work, though, is that Dick and Jane are truly likable characters whose desperate circumstances you really do care about. They were fine performances from Carrey and Leoni. (7/10)

tomb_92 I quite liked this. As a Jim Carrey fan I am glad to see that he is showing off his acting skills lately instead of just doing that silly thing he did in Ace Ventura (which is funny, but I realise not to everybody's taste). Carrey does act in this but does a little of what he does normally, like in Bruce Almighty. Tea Leoni does what she always does but is also funny and has good chemistry with Carrey. The plot is simple but funny. I have to say I did laugh a good few times and if you don't laugh I think you will be hard-pressed not to smile at the ending. Sure it's not the funniest or wittiest comedy ever but it is enjoyable and fun to watch with all your family.
