Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

gwcohn-2 I saw this movie in the theaters back in 1977 and it is one of my favorites.The chemistry between George Segal and Jane Fonda is good and there are some very funny moments like when he tries to hold up an Afro-American bar and they just look at him and ask "When did they start busing the white robbers to the black neighborhoods?" The other crack that was risqué for the time is when Dick shoves the pistol in his waistband and screams. Jane sweetly looks at him and says, "Don't go off half-cocked."Dicks career as a car thief isn't going very well as even his aerospace knowledge can't seem to help him hot wire a car. Jane points to a convertible next to the car he is try to steal and he says, "I don't know anything about foreign cars." She says, "I think you can handle this one. The keys are in it." And off they go in a 1974 Jaguar XK-E convertible. Later at the party, someone is admiring his Jaguar and he cracks, "I took one for a test drive and loved it."Ed McMahon is great as the drunken manager firing everyone, playing off his reputation from the Johnny Carson show and connections with Budweiser as their spokesman.It's really a very funny movie for it's time and wears well with age. The remake with Jim Carrey is nearly unwatchable. I have both on DVD and haven't been able to watch the remake more than once.

Scaramouche2004 Having never seen either version of this film before, I tuned into Fun with Dick on a whim after once again finding their was very little else on the other gazillion channels we extortionately pay for, and was I so glad I did.Respectable Aero Engineer Dick Harper has everything. A high flying job, his dream home complete with soon to be complete swimming pool, the perfect wife and son and obligatory dog. In short he has managed to acquire the prefect existence and has made a complete success of life.However when George is laid off by his company, he finds that he has been completely living beyond his means, as the debts of the financially secure mount around a financially ruined family. Endless Hire purchase agreements and red bank statements hardly make good bedfellows.After several disastrous attempts to find other employment and with their welfare checks withheld, Dick and Jane are almost at the end of their rope. With their affluent lifestyle and social position spiralling out of control it seems that their is no where else for them to turn.However when Dick and Jane become innocent victims of an armed hold up in a loan office, Jane manages to re steal some of the already stolen money which sets them on a new and exciting path to regain the perks and comforts of old.They decide that if they cannot earn money and they are unable to receive it through benefits then they would steal it in a number of bizarre hold ups ranging from sleazy porn motels, record shops and liquor stores.George Segal and Jane Fonda are perfectly cast as the daring couple bitten by the bug of thrills and excitement as their new way of life becomes more than just a means to an end.We see them practise at their new found art, gain their confidence and slowly acquire the tricks of the trade as they slowly and more than willingly turn from amateur to professional criminals.With confidence comes bigger and better jobs, and with the necessary skill and ability, Dick and Jane turn their attentions to Dicks former employers and their bulging safe. The Ultimate revenge. Great stuff.It wasn't a 'fall out of your seat laughing' kind of comedy, but none the less it was amusing and entertaining enough to be perfect family viewing on a rainy afternoon.It really is Fun with Dick and Jane.

Jessica Carvalho ''Fun with Dick and Jane'' is not the best comedy I watched, but still is a nice movie from the 70's starring George Segal and Jane Fonda as Dick and Jane, a couple from the upper-middle class who suddenly stay with high debts, since Dick was fired, and decide to steal to pay their bills and keep their life style. This version is much better then the remake with Jim Carrey. In this one, George Segal plays a serious executive engineer, while in the new version, Jim Carrey makes Dick a stupid idiot. Jane Fonda is very beautiful, and I am amazed that she was already 40 years old when she did this movie,since she doesn't look more then 32.
