Description

Manager Dick Harper and his attractive young wife Jane are used to a comfortable lifestyle. They just build a swimming-pool when Dick is fired very unexpectedly - leaving him with $70,000 debt on the house. They try to hide this from the neighbors and just cut down their expenses, but soon it's obvious: living from unemployment bonus drives them crazy, it's uncertain if they can keep the house. Dick decides that robbing drug stores is their only way out - but this takes more skill than expected! Only as a team Dick and Jane can succeed.

  • Much funnier than the remake

    I remember seeing this in the theater and on TV/video a few years later when I was a kid (I was 10 when it came out). I thought it was funny then, and it's still funny today. The 2005 remake was a silly, campy remake with political overtones (trying to show the evils of big business, etc.) which the original doesn't even attempt. The original is just a cute, campy movie about what two yuppies would do if they suddenly lost their source of income and resorted to blue collar crime. George Segal and Jane Fonda were PERFECT in this movie, as was Ed McMahon as George Segal's boss. The remake took what was once an almost believable comedy and made it into a ridiculous farce with Alec Baldwin playing a CEO who is so outrageously greedy and evil and Jim Carrey played a Dick Harper who was such a gullible dummy...I just hated it after having scene the original, in which Dick Harper was actually a rocket scientist, not some dumb fall guy. Given the choice, see this one instead (or at least FIRST).
