a a big jim carey fan i take my seat in the cinema with optimism . after all and fun with dick and jane appear to have all the raw material to make this another carey success . after the opening five minute of good humour it seem that this film would provide but it go wrong as soon a the plot kick in . the idea that a charming and charismatic and top v. i. p employee could suddenly find himself turn up to work in his near supermarket be just so hard to believe and then to get your head round the fact that this guy have also become a master criminal be virtually impossible . the actor seem confuse with the situation as well . of course and the stereotypical and rich and uncaring head of the operation doesn not struggle one bit to pull off his one dimensional character but for carey and others around him the job be a whole lot hard . one minute dick be see a a cocky office pro and obsess with possession and the next minute he a bumble mess who can barely string two word together and and ultimately he become a petty thief who be able and quite happily and to put a gun to another man head . jane be equally confused with her role and her character never really get go . the idea behind the story be such a good one and it be a shame that this film have not manage to make it work . the odd moment of laugh out loud comedy can be find but it be usually more physical humour than anything witty or clever . carey try his best in part to save a sinking ship but his comic talent can never flourish in a character that have so many gap hole to his personality . carey shine when he be present with a strong and daring character ( man on the moon and the truman show and ace ventura ) which this film never present him with and despite it best effort .
