Had

Yet another classic comedy by Jim Carrey. Fun with Dick and Jane—fun time. It's a story of a couple (Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni) struggling to come out of their blues after Jim Carrey was ditched by his employer Jack in an Enron-like calamity. Jim Carrey gets promoted as the VP of his company and then comes the bolt from the blue when he learns that he's going to have his tough time ahead without a job, bank balance, pension fund, and so on. The story gains momentum with a few glib-commedy acts of robbery by the Harpers (Dick and Jane) and the comedy was well woven and interspersed in between while at the same time clinging to the bottom line of the story which portrays the hard times of a jobless couple striving hard to live up to their dreams. Going forward in their steal-to-live life, Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni manage to get Jack, the CEO of Globodyne, transfer 400 million dollars to Globodyne's employees' pension fund thereby putting an end to the suffering of Globodyne's employees. In a nutshell, Fun with Dick and Jane—yet another laughter therapy by Jim Carrey.
