Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Jane Fonda was so respected as a serious actress that her comedy chops sometimes were overlooked. But it should be remembered that her first real hits (Barefoot in the Park, Cat Ballou) were comedies. This underrated 1977 outing also played for laughs, though it had social-satire underpinnings that still ring true. Fonda and George Segal play an upwardly mobile couple in the time before yuppies--think of them as protoyuppies. But their status-oriented existence suffers what could be a fatal blow when hubby is maneuvered out of his job. Broke and unemployed, they become armed robbers--and discover that crime can pay for them to live in the style to which they've become accustomed. Segal and Fonda have a breezy ease as confused suburbanites who bring the same neurotic thoroughness to crime that they do to their careers. But the script (whose authors include Jerry Belson and Mordechai Richler) never uses either the Robin Hood angle or any other angle that could sustain a sharp edge; as a result, the comedy winds up more cute than knowing. --Marshall Fine

I choose this rating because the movie is good. What I like about the movie is that George Segal and Jane Fonda star in this hilarious send-up of upper middle class mores and the price people are willing to pay to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. Just as they're putting in a new pool at the house that has sunk them deep into debt, Dick is fired from his high-paying job as an executive. Housewife Jane isn't too worried at first, figuring she'll go to work and they'll just tighten their belts for awhile, but it quickly becomes apparent that Dick's unemployment isn't going to go very far, and she isn't really good at anything besides spending. So when Jane inadvertently gets away with stealing $2,000, the entrepreneurial spirit takes over and the two come up with a new solution: they'll steal the money they need to live on. There's only one thing didn't count on: being a robber is actually hard work! What I dislike about the movie is that I wanted to see more of it. I would recommend this movie to other people.

There's nothing like an original, especially when it's this well done. Sorry Mr. Carrey, but your remake was close to a dud. Not even the great looks and added comedic talent of Tea Leoni could salvage this from a made-for-direct-to-DVD listing. George Segal and Jane Fonda did a much more convincing job of portraying the set-upon-suburbanites and their zany attempts to reclaim their spot in the Upper Middle Class Echelons. McMahon plays a fine, leacherous, money-grubbing exec who could care less about his help. From "Zlute" to "Barbarella" to "Comes A Horseman" Fonda makes whatever role she's in something you care about. (Okay; "Barbarella" was a stretch...)
So if Jim Carrey's antics are what makes you laugh, so be it. I just wish he'd have had less funny looks and a MUCH funnier script to work with.
If fun and frolic with two great actors is what you'd prefer, go for the original~! Also, the sight gags are wonderful!

A pair of spoiled, rich and clueless characters are thrown for a loop when their world comes crashing down as they find themselves no longer apart of the upper middle class and quickly heading for the poor house.

While trying their hardest to hold onto what little they can, Dick and Jane witness a robbery and soon find themselves turning to a life of crime to just make ends meet.

It's a great visit to the 70's. A time I don't remember much myself because I was only about 7 when the movie came out, but it's not hard to see how anyone would have a crush on Jane Fonda. She is funny, classy and very sexy.

The movie does a great job in getting you to feel for a couple of Spoiled, Rich white folk that really dont deserve your sympathy even if they really didn't do anything wrong other then live life on the hog.

This movie is 1000 times better then the remake. I would say it's a good time, a worth a watch.

This is another movie that age has not hurt and still remains very funny today. This movie has been remade and the new version is not good. Sometimes the movie is on and showing it with George Segal and Jane Fonda but when I have turned it on, it is nearly always the newer one and it just isn't very good. I don't think that remakes are ever as good as the original and we don't even watch it because we like the original. I actually had to buy the movie to get the right version and it has never become dated and is always enjoyable.

I bought this recently wondering if the fun would still be there after a few decades. Sometimes things have to be rethought, updated. "Dick and Jane" still works all by itself. We might be conditioned to think of Jane Fonda for her dramatic roles, but she is a superior comedian and does a superb job as Jane.
I consider it one of the top movies of all time -- but many people need weight and heft before they will stake any such claim. If you are one of those, I'm sorry. I will always love this film.
If anyone knows how to campaign for a DVD version, let us know. A few other reviewers have asked for a DVD version, I see.
One reason I wanted to write this review is that I recently saw "The Morning After" and was surprised that my opinion was so different than most reviews I researched. This is a fine look at Jane Fonda's ability by Sidney Lumet. I think a lot of people misunderstand what they are seeing, however. If you don't "get it" you might not appreciate the brilliance of this performance: we don't know who Fonda is portraying for most of the movie. Seeing an actor is most often like receiving a specially prepared gift. The actor's work ususally supplies a lot of "givens" to the developing story. Not the case in "The Morning After." Here, we are challenged rather than coddled to. Only near the end do we find that the character's history includes more than the status of a "ne'er-been" TV walk-on actress.
I was will be thinking about this movie for days and watching it again. And watching "Fun with Dick and Jane" more, too. Both of these films should make you proud of a job well done by Jane Fonda.

They made a remake of this movie a feel years ago and it was not as good. The magic between George Segal and Jane Fonda can not be duplicated. The story is a little silly and the script could use some work but these two very talented actors brought it to life and made it work. It is timeless entertainment.
