(2005—Dean Parisot—USA)

Here it is! Your typical wonderful Holiday-only entertainment. That’s what Al thought, anyway. (Caryl thought very differently.) Nothing serious, nor thought-provoking here. Just a little frivolous (and somewhat dark, actually) fun.

It must be said that this is actually not “Fun…”, but “Angst with Dick and Jane.” The movie opens with Dick and Jane living the American Dream in California. The two take up armed robbery when their very-expensive California lifestyle heads south. (Turns out that Dick’s big promotion was just to make him the fall guy in an Enron Situation.)

Before they turn to robbery, things are sooooo financially bleak for them that their lawn has been repossessed. (Funny stuff, that!)

Caryl felt that the only funny of the movie was when Dick “flips out” and starts stealing pieces of his neighbors’ lawns in the middle of the night. Paradoxically, Al felt this was the only part of the movie that *wasn’t* at least Slightly funny.

The movie tries to make a point about how corporate greed and crime can often destroy the livelihoods of the average employee. The travails of Dick and Jane, however, swamp any real statements in this regard.

Tea Leoni and Jim Carrey do very good jobs as Jane and Dick Harper. Alec Baldwin is superb, also, as the corporate villain. (For Al’s money, the scenes of the villain’s home in the California Mountains were, architecturally speaking, worth the price of admission.)

Al also laught out loud three times during this entertainment, which something he is not famous for doing even once during most movies. As the frivolous Holiday entertainment that it is, Al recommends “Fun With Dick and Jane.” Caryl does not!!! (1 hour 30.)
