Fun
With Dick and Jane—a remake of the 1977 movie of the
same name—uses the talents of Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni to create a remake that is better than the first
movie. The movie has fun and craziness worked into every scene as it takes the
Dick character to a whole ‘nother level with Jim Carrey as its interpreter. Téa Leoni wisely chooses to follow along with the Carrey ride and ends up being a powerful offset to his
character. This is a terrific comedy and serves up plenty of satisfying
chuckles, a good adult share film.
Storyline
Dick
and Jane design a creative way to ‘make’ money.
