We're just going through a rough patch: briefly; after Dick and Jane Harper [Jim Carrey and Téa Leoni:] after things go quickly south at Globodyne Corporation where Dick on the same day is getting promoted, he lost his job. But the night before had spied his wife to leave her job are now up tree without a paddle and not forgetting their son Billy Harper [Aaron Michael Drozin:] their young son are all going to go through hard times.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 91 minutes film; the script; knows what it is and sticks to that, but consequently you may as well fast-forward after roughly the first 15 minutes just to give yourself an idea of the film, you may as well fast-forward the next 25-30 minutes as you will not miss anything of great substance as this film will dawdle.

Comedy, action and art; this film takes such a long time to consistently become comical, but before this it is like watching paint dry and then we have to go through this company sequence as it relates to immigration and as you can imagine especially in the current climate it has aged like sour milk, a little later there is a comedy element where Dick makes reference to in a nutshell just sitting here, but because of a previous situation it almost sounds like he says something else. As this husband-and-wife duo go on a crime spree on their first but unofficial team up we have this luminous effects; this is a moment of good art, but I cannot stress enough that a roundabout the final quarter of this film it pulls itself together where we see Dick/Carey acting like a puppet on strings.

Character developments and performances; well let's just say it as it is; this character models for their outlay to the exact detail, so if this is what they were going for well done you have accomplished your mission. But consequently as I have already referenced there is much of anything happening including the framework and pacing; it makes this film for a large amount of it really dull. Yes Carrey really does carry this film, but even with him it does take him some time to kick into gear.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as I have stated in one way or another this film takes a long time to get going on different levels and I feel comfortable saying without Carrey this film would have fared much worse at the box office takings under $205 million from a budget of $100 million, so if you are a fan of Carrey or/and Leoni take a look at this film: but I really wouldn't high expectations, there is a good bit of art in the closing credits and yes this film has some awards accredited to its name, but they are not all good ones 1 Winner.
