Dick und Jane (2005)

Dick und Jane: Directed by Dean Parisot. With Jim Carrey, Téa Leoni, Alec Baldwin, Richard Jenkins. When an affluent couple lose all their money following a series of blunders, they turn to a life of crime to make ends meet.

“I think the reason why this film wasnu0026#39;t so well-received was because of its serious theme as people expected it to be an out-and-out comedy. However, I think it touches on some very relevant issues, especially today when the economy is at a recession where people are losing their jobs, their houses and slowly everything they own. But coming, back to the comedy element, thereu0026#39;s plenty of that and a lot to laugh about so I still donu0026#39;t understand all the negativity towards this fun movie. For me the funniest sequence was the swollen mouth sequence. Carrey and Leoni are awesome together. They make a great comedic pair on screen. Richard Jenkins is terrific too and Alec Baldwin isnu0026#39;t bad either. I havenu0026#39;t watched the original version but I saw an interview of Jim Carrey where he mentions that the movie is more relevant today than it was in 1977. I couldnu0026#39;t agree more.”
