Fun with Dick and Jane
After Dick Harper loses his job at Globodyne in an Enron-esque collapse, he and his wife, Jane, turn to a life of crime to make ends meet as they become upscale suburban Robin Hoods, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor... namely themselves.

The downward mobility of the middle class straight to the poverty level, or crime often not as evil, but rather economic desperation, are plot points hardly likely to sit well with those who control this economy and profit from it.

They are funny bits, but there are too few of them. Fun With Dick and Jane just isn't all that fun.

In a strange way, it's fitting that a movie about people out of work should itself barely work.

Fun With Dick & Jane offers the faintly depressing sight of Jim Carrey, like Dick Harper, doing whatever it takes to earn his supper.
