Fun with Dick and Jane
Director: Ted Kotcheff
Year: 1977
Stars: George Segal, Jane Fonda
I heard about this when it was re-made a couple of years ago, and all the reviews said the original was much better than the remake. So when I saw they were showing the original on TV, I thought I'd give it a try.
Dick and Jane are a happily married couple, living in their dream house with their child and dog. Everything is fine until Dick loses his job, and they can't cope with having so little money coming in. This is basically where the film starts, showing how they manage to acquire more money as they go from mad to madder situations.
It's a really enjoyable film, with some nice touches. I wasn't sure exactly how it was going to end, but it was incredibly satisfying. A film to keep you laughing, but also make you think a little.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
