Jim Carrey is one of the well known comedian actor. I think most of his shows are funny and hilarious. Even though I love to watch comedies, sometimes Jim Carrey over reacted facial expression seriously kills the movie. But hey, from the trailer I am convinced that this is a cool show.
The movie resolves around Dick (Jim Carrey). He has a stable job, a beautiful wife name Jane (Tea Leoni), a cute son and well, a dog who loves to bark. Everything was going on fine with Dick, until one day, his company decided to promote him. I loved the scene where he is singing in the lift. The right song at the right situation!
He was quickly being sold out by his own company where his boss (Alec Baldwin) bankrupt the whole company. Dick, being the spokesperson was soon jobless. All his savings were all in the form of his company’s shares. The optimistic Dick thought everything is gonna be okay but.. well I guess life doesn’t always go our ways. Dick was jobless for months and their saving went from less to lesser to none.
They have to sell everything in their house. The best part, even their lawn was being taken back. It’s amazing. It looked like some carpet. Dick was in desperate need of help when he received a letter from the bank. Dick was asked to pay his house loans or his house would be mortgage.
In desperate moments like this, Dick and Jane decided to rob some stores. They soon get the hang of it and slowly gets everything back. It was hilarious and amazing! There were one scene which I can never forget. Dick and Jane went robbing the Japanese shop! Guess what, there were a few waiters, all of them were talking.. okay to be precise, mumbling some jap words but one of them (if I did hear properly) he said “Wa Lan Eh” which.. erm… I think is not Japanese. Hahaha…
One day, Dick and Jane decided to rob a bank and was almost caught and learnt that what they were doing was completely out of their mind. Dick in the meantime was angry when he saw that his boss was still living in luxury by living with all the money he took away from the company. Dick decided to take it back. Well, it’s a happy ending comedy~ So yeah… he surely did manage to get back what he wants.
I love this movie. It’s simply hilarious without the over-expression by Jim Carrey. The electric dog collar was also a funny element. However I was rather upset that there were lots of scene being cut. Yeah.. lots of scene in the making and the trailer just wasn’t in the movie.
Time to get the un-censored version and laugh!
