Anti-heroes in suburbia, 6 January 2002
6/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

It's a sign of the times (i.e., the 1970s) when Dick and Jane rob the telephone company at gunpoint and all the customers applaud. It's distinctly un-PC now, but very funny back then. As usual, it's a "Jane Fonda movie" that thinly conceals a social message underneath its comic scenario, but I didn't feel it got too preachy until near the finish-line. George Segal works very easily with Fonda, and there are some hugely funny scenes after an arduous opening wherein Segal loses his cushy job. The desperation of unemployment is touched upon briefly (for a comic effect), but there are some stabs at social commentary that do not work (as with two bad caveats involving a transsexual and a man with no voice). But for every foul ball there comes along something fresh and groovy, like the sequence where Fonda tries to cover up why the gardeners are rolling up her lawn and taking her plants away, or when the gentleman from Food Stamps shows up at an inappropriate moment (a ritzy family dinner), confessing he just had a Big Mac and a Coke. **1/2 from ****
