Though it peters out towards the end, Fun with Dick and Jane is fun indeed while it lasts. Dick Harper (George Segal) and his wife Jane (Jane Fonda) have always lived way beyond their means. Just because Dick has just lost his high-paying job is no reason for Jane to stop spending like theres no tomorrow. To make ends meet, Jane takes up a new career: armed robbery. Amazingly, the audience is firmly on the side of the thoroughly self-centered Dick and Jane throughout their various greedy escapades; thus is a pedestrian comedy rescued by sheer star power. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
