Fun With Dick and Jane
Years of hard work finally pay off for Dick Harper (Jim Carrey)when he is promoted to vice president at Globodyne, a worldwide leader in the consolidation of media properties.
But exactly one day in his new job, Globodyne is destroyed by an Enron-like calamity – and he is left holding the bag.
Dick’s sudden reversal of fortune has left him little time to set money aside for a rainy day. Now it’s raining buckets as Dick and his loving wife, Jane (Tea Leoni) watch in horror as their deluxe suburban home, their luxury cars and their status-conscious friends quickly vanish into thin air.
After playing by the rules and working single-mindedly to build a comfortable life for his family, Dick is utterly unprepared to give up the American dream. Taking a lesson from his corrupt employer, however, Dick hits on a brilliant idea: if stealing was good enough for his boss, then it’s good enough for him.
Using his newfound skills, he and Jane exact hilarious revenge and teach big business a lesson.
