Fun with Dick and Jane (DVD, 2006)

Fun with Dick and Jane was a dissapointment to us.
Jim Carey did a great job. His is a very talented actor.
The problem for us was the story line. Dick and Jane turn to a life of crime to survive when Dick's new job as a VP lasted less then one day when the company went belly up.

The actors did a great job. The story line was not one that children need to be exposed to.

Dick and Jane were nice people who were put into an impossible situation on turned to a life of crime. This is not the message we need our children to see. And for this reason, this is not a family film.

The actors did an excellent job. The film even with it's happy ending is not one children need to be exposed to.

Ironically we picked up this DVD because our teenage son felt it would be a funny movie to watch. He was right... the movie is funny. Yet it left me feeling cold inside because we sat there laughing at people doing bad things.

Funny movie. Ok for adults, but not recommended for children.

It does not teach good family values. It teaches the watcher to do whatever it takes to survive... no matter if it is legal or not. It shows how one criminal way of thinking and out smart another person who is doing wrong... but two wrongs will never make a right.

If you do not care about morals and values.. you will love the film if you are a fan of Jim Carey and comedy.

The acting was wonderful. The movie was below average. Too bad, with that much talent on the screen.

The movie is about an upper working class family with the man losing his job the same day his wife quits her job at her husbands suggestion when he got his promotion.
The movie is about a Corperate CEO funneling funds away from the company, dumping his stock and trying to walk away with 400 million dollars.
The movie watches a number of people turning to a life of crime trying to survive after the corporation fails.
The movie is funny... just does not have the best values.

May God Bless...
