CAPSULE REVIEW: FUN WITH DICK AND JANE
In a remake of 1977's Fun With Dick and Jane, director Dean Parisot (Galaxy Quest) delivers a pretty uninteresting flick. Jim Carrey reverts to his annoying parody of an adult man, while Tea Leoni is stuck playing his wife. Luckily the movie is short, but that's not enough to redeem itself. What could have been a hilarious turn on a wronged couple getting revenge on the actions of the Enron-like criminal fat cat played by Alec Baldwin (with a horrible southern accent) ends up a bust.Official Website: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/funwithdickandjane/
Trivia: During the INS raid, one of the workers has an ID that says he's Opie Taylor. Ron Howard played Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show. Ron's brother, Clint Howard, has a cameo in that scene as one of the INS agents.
Grade: 1 out of 5 Stars
