"Jim Carrey is hilarious as a man who slowly goes insane when his American Dream turns into a nightmare."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
B
"The film coasts on Carrey's enthusiasm alone and without him, I can only imagine how lackluster this remake would be."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"For a comedy with so much politico-cultural baggage on its mind,
Dick and Jane
remains curiously inert."

Cynthia Fuchs
2/4
"Carrey, in particular, seems to be working overtime in an effort to elicit laughs from some decidedly underwhelming material."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
D
"The only honest thing about the film was they didn't put a gun to your head and make you buy a ticket."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
2.5/4
"Ridiculous, but gleefully so."

"It's hard to find too much fault with a movie as cheerfully twisted as this one"

2/4
"
Fun with Dick and Jane
feels like a toothless financial fable desperately trying to weed out its satirical naughtiness."
Movie Eye

"It may be the holidays, but Carrey and his cohorts offer precious little cheer here...The first movie of this title...wasn't much fun, and this updating is even less so."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"In striving for inspiration,
Fun with Dick and Jane
discovers moments of cleverness, but there aren't enough of them, nor are they sustained."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3/4
"Se puede ver simple y sencillamente para pasar el rato, con una buena bolsa de palomitas y un refresco al lado."
Moviola
Jorge Avila Andrade
3.5/5
"Instead of being a satire of the boom-time keeping up with the Joneses, it morphs into more of a "consumption is king" reaffirmation of that dangerous attitude...would be funnier if it hadn't hurt so many people."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
2/5
"It didn't totally suck."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
"The film proposes Carrey as an Everyman for the 21st century. But if you don't sympathize with the film's variations on the American Dream, that's a frightening thought."
Reverse Shot
Leo Goldsmith
2/4
"The comic payoff is slow to come and culminates in a kind of triumph-of-the-little-guy ending that only Frank Capra can pull off."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
D
"Alternating between lowbrow comedy and pointed political commentary is a bold strategy, but the combination results in a film neither dumb enough nor smart enough to work."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
"If there's meant to be any satire in the idea that these two will do almost anything to maintain their obscene consumerist lifestyle, it's lost in the poking fun at what lots of ordinary working-class folks do to make a living."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3/4
"
Fun with Dick and Jane
produces a handful of big laughs - big enough to make it worth a recommendation."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B-
"See Dick steal. See Jane drive the getaway car. "
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
1.5/4
"Social commentary mingles with stupid comedy in this humorless update of a 1977 George Segal-Jane Fonda romp."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4/5
"Divertido e com uma boa mensagem política, é um exemplo raro em Hollywood: uma comédia que, sem pregações, tem algo importante a dizer."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
1/5
"If ever there was a paycheck movie,
Fun with Dick and Jane
is it."
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
2/5
"Anyone who likes comedy with an edge will be disappointed at the way this film abandons its clever premise."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C+
"This is something that should have waited for the February doldrums when theatergoers are starved for entertainment."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
0.5/4
"It's so incoherent, you actually feel sort of insulted that the filmmakers think little enough of you to release it in this condition."
