It's formless and toothless and, most critically, not all that fun.

Reviews for Fun with Dick and Jane
In Fun with Dick and Jane, despair means having to turn in your BMW and hocking the plasma TV set.
12/21/05
The sharp script by Judd Apatow and Nicholas Stoller and Dean Parisot's steady direction keep things on a higher level as the movie skewers American excess.
12/21/05
See Jim Carrey mug for the camera. Mug, Jim, mug!
12/21/05
Top CriticFun With Dick and Jane is the best kind of remake: It takes a dated film most people haven't seen or vaguely remember and updates the basic premise in a way that plugs it into here and now.
12/21/05
Instead of making you think about the state of life in an economically challenged America, it leaves you wondering whether Carrey's career isn't starting to sputter.
12/21/05
Top CriticHere is a revised primer: See Jim Carrey ham it up. See Téa Leoni have appealing fun with scant material. See studio execs digging into their vault for old material. See ... oh, why not just wait for the DVD.
12/21/05
There's nothing like a bloated Hollywood misfire to teach us a lesson in corporate excess.
12/21/05
The title Fun With Dick and Jane should be considered creative advertising rather than an audience guarantee.
12/21/05
Top CriticThe movie avoids the rich opportunities to plop Carrey and Leoni into the middle of a political lampoon, and turns to tired slapstick, wigs, false beards, 'funny' bank holdups, and so on.
12/21/05
Top CriticThe trailer's misleading, as there's more to absorb here than Jim Carrey's proficient but constant mugging.
12/21/05
As satires go, this is a drive-by shooting that tickles.
12/21/05
Top CriticFinally, some escapist fun to get us through the holidays.
12/21/05
Top CriticFor a comedy with so much politico-cultural baggage on its mind, Dick and Jane remains curiously inert.
12/21/05
See Dick steal. See Jane drive the getaway car.
12/21/05
Irritatingly, Judd Apatow and Nicholas Stoller's updated screenplay opts for obviousness and strained slapstick over wit at every turn and makes the fatal mistake of telegraphing far too many of the jokes long before they hit.
12/21/05
The film coasts on Carrey's enthusiasm alone and without him, I can only imagine how lackluster this remake would be.
12/20/05
Dick and Jane is running the ball on third down, asking your ex to the prom or attending junior college. It's a safety flick, and nothing else.
12/20/05
Not a disaster, but not as much 'fun' as the title might suggest either. Wait for the DVD or even cable.
12/20/05
It almost took away my Christmas cheer.
