In the End, You Can Have 'Fun With Dick and Jane'
2005
Overview
Meanwhile, Jane has decided to quit her job as a travel agent, so by the close of business on [Dick]'s first day as VP, they're both unemployed. It takes a few months -- of Dick looking for work alongside other desperate white-collar refugees and finally becoming a greeter at a Wal-Mart-type superstore, of Jane trying to be an exercise instructor and then a cosmetics test subject, of their lawn being repossessed -- before Dick hits on the idea of stealing. While he's trying on sunglasses and explaining his plan to Jane, she makes a suggestion through disastrously over-Botoxed lips: \"Maybe you should steal some Prozac.\" From its trailer and marketing campaign, \"Fun With Dick and Jane\" looks like one of those instant forgettables that a studio plops into theaters in the middle of the busy season, with hopes that they will disappear quietly. But it turns out to be better than that, especially during the run-up to Dick and Jane's crime spree, when the movie clicks along with giddy, contagious good humor. (There's a particularly hilarious running gag involving Dick and Jane's son Billy, who speaks with a Spanish accent courtesy of his ever- present nanny and screams \"Don't take my Telemundo!\" when his parents sell the TV.)
