A not-so-ordinary family finds a new way of paying the bills in this
comedy.
Dick Harper (
Jim Carrey) and his wife,
Jane (
Téa Leoni), would seem to have it made --
Dick has a high-paying job, they live in an expensive house in the suburbs, they have two luxury cars in the driveway, and a housekeeper,
Blanca (
Gloria Garayua), to help look after their son,
Billy. But
Dick and
Jane's fairy-tale life crashes head-on into reality when the firm
Dick works for turns out to have been using unscrupulous accounting methods to disguise the fact they've been losing money hand over fist, and
Dick has been made the fall guy for some of their dirty dealings. Suddenly flat broke,
Dick and
Jane must find a new way to support their lavish lifestyle, and in time they discover just the thing -- crime. A remake of
Ted Kotcheff's 1977 hit (which helped re-launch
Jane Fonda's screen career),
Fun With Dick and Jane also stars
Alec Baldwin,
John Michael Higgins, and
Angie Harmon. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
