Review of Fun with Dick and Jane (1977) by Daniel P — 14 Dec 2012

This film was much more fun than I expected. A bit of a shame that it didn't come a little later, when there was so much more to say about the consequences of greed and America's continuing economic meltdown.

That out of the way, Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni are a believable, cursed pair that made me laugh (Carrey especially). There aren't many comic actors left who can carry a bad movie the way he does with his over-the-top energy.

(Indicted?!?!??!) And this isn't to say it's a bad movie; it's a one-note comedy and Alec Baldwin's the weakest link, but Judd Apatow's rebooted script is better than expected. One for a wasted Sunday, i.

E. when you were out too late the Saturday before. As I may or may not have been when I caught this on TV. Check it out and have a laugh, it's alright!
