Fun with Dick and Jane (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I gather the 1977 original with Jane Fonda and George Segal was no great shakes, but it surely had more going for it than this limp satire on corporate venality.
Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni play the suburban couple who turn to bank robbing after Carrey's company goes belly-up and he loses his job. Judd Apatow could be forgiven a lot after writing and directing The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but he pushes his luck here with a screenplay that hits one bum note after another.
Carrey mugs away like crazy, Leoni is as misused as she was in Spanglish. Alec Baldwin plays his umpteenth corporate fat cat in a row. Honestly, it's no fun at all.
