Fun With Dick And Jane
How I love stabs at corporate America. Fun With Dick and Jane portrays this message with authority. This movies focus is on a fictitious company that goes under in similar fashion to Enron and WorldCom. Dick (Jim Carrey), the movie’s main character, gets promoted and is forced to go on TV and take the heat for what the company was doing. Dick obviously loses his job and he is forced to turn to robbery with his wife Jane (Tia Leone) by his side. Meanwhile the company president (Alec Baldwin) lives the high life. I did not know this, but this movie was actually a remake of a 1977 movie. However, from what I can pick up, they are radically different. The movie takes a turn that I did not see coming, so I will not ruin it for you. I did find the beginning of the credits to be one of the best parts of the movie though. If you have any interest in the scandals I mentioned above, I think this is a must see. In conclusion I give Fun With Dick and Jane one thumb up.
