''Fun with Dick and Jane'' is not the best comedy I watched, but still is a nice movie from the 70's starring George Segal and Jane Fonda as Dick and Jane, a couple from the upper-middle class who suddenly stay with high debts, since Dick was fired, and decide to steal to pay their bills and keep their life style.

This version is much better then the remake with Jim Carrey. In this one, George Segal plays a serious executive engineer, while in the new version, Jim Carrey makes Dick a stupid idiot. Jane Fonda is very beautiful, and I am amazed that she was already 40 years old when she did this movie,since she doesn't look more then 32.

When the executive engineer Dick Harper (George Segal) is unexpectedly fired by the president Charlie Blanchard (Ed McMahon) of the Taft Aerospace, company where he works, his wife Jane Harper (Jane Fonda) and him get completely broken, full of debts including the mortgage of their fancy house and without means to support their lifestyle. Dick unsuccessfully tries to find a new position, while Jane looks for a job and cuts their costs to the minimum. While using the insufficient unemployment paycheck of the social security to survive, they contract a loan in a bank. There is a heist in the bank and Jane accidentally steals some money from the thieves, and the couple decides to robber to survive and maintain their social status.

"Fun with Dick and Jane" is a great amoral comedy that has not aged or dated. The politically incorrect story is delightful and very funny, and is a sharp critic to the American Dream, satirizing the hypocrite need of maintaining a status and also to the corruption related to the big business of the corporations. Jane Fonda is very beautiful and shows a great chemistry with George Segal. This is the first time that I watch this movie, which is an excellent entertainment. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Adivinhe Quem Vem Para Roubar?" ("Guess Who Is Coming to Robber?")

Dick (George Segal) and Jane Harper (Jane Fonda) are living the American dream. He has a good job at Taft Aerospace but then he get laid off by his boss Charlie Blanchard (Ed McMahon). At first, they're unconcerned. Eventually it gets so bad that the landscaper even takes back the grass. He needs to cut back on spending while on unemployment and she needs to get a job. Her job isn't working out and he gets kicked off unemployment. When they get robbed at the loan place, they get an idea.

The first half is basically a spiral downwards for this upper class family. It needs more comedy. It has the potential but it doesn't take full advantage. It plays as a light comedy. The couple is materialistic. They aren't the most nicest but they are likable enough to root for. There are some edgy social commentary with Dick as unemployed dealing with the lower class problems. Then the movie turns with the Bonnie and Clyde antics. It gets funnier and more edgier. George Segal and Jane Fonda play a good bickering couple. It could have been even more outrageous if they treated their help with less than friendliness. Then they could learn something as their table gets turned. The setup could be better.
