Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)
Director: Dean Parisot
Movie review
From Time Out New York
The original Fun with Dick and Jane starred an actual Jane—Fonda, hinting at her yuppified resculpting to come—and George Segal, playing freshly unemployed white-collar types diving comically into crime to keep up with the Joneses. Here, it's rubber-faced Jim Carrey and brittle Téa Leoni donning ski masks and robbing muffins at Starbucks. Trailers don't reveal, however, the delightfully sharp fangs that soon get bared in this brazenly topical post-Enron refreshening. It's still a broad Jim Carrey vehicle with an abundance of cringeworthy mugging, but Alec Baldwin's Texas-accented slimeball exec is a welcome diversion.Author: JR
