Fun with Dick and Jane

The movie didn't sit well with critics, viewers didn't have many good things to say, and I hadn't heard good things from friends and family; however, I wanted to see the movie so I didn't let other opinions stop me. I'm not going to lie, when I hear things like that though, it does somewhat lower my expectations for the film. I can see were all the bad things are coming from after seeing Fun with Dick and Jane. The most disappointing thing about the film is that it COULD HAVE been an excellent film. You have Jim Carrey, the greatest comedic actor of the current generation, and an extremely creative premise to go off of. There are scenes through out the first have of the movie that just seemed as though the didn't belong (the whole INS thing, for example) they brought on boredom and didn't contribute at all to the story. However I thought the second half faired much better, with the robberies and the final great hiest. The movie overall wouldn't rank to high on my greatest films of all time, yet I don't think is something that Jim Carrey or Tea Leoni should be asshamed to have been a part of.
