After Dick Harper loses his job at Globodyne in an Enron-esque collapse, he and his wife, Jane, turn to a life of crime to make ends meet as they become upscale suburban Robin Hoods, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor... namely themselves.
In a strange way, it's fitting that a movie about people out of work should itself barely work.

Fun with Dick and Jane is an extended Enron joke used to give Jim Carrey plenty of opportunity to mug for the camera. Everything else is more or less perfunctory to that.
The downward mobility of the middle class straight to the poverty level, or crime often not as evil, but rather economic desperation, are plot points hardly likely to sit well with those who control this economy and profit from it.
They are funny bits, but there are too few of them. Fun With Dick and Jane just isn't all that fun.

This cynical look at how the American family can only achieve their dreams through crime is a bit more of a political statement rather than comedic entertainment.
Consider it a signed confession of remake rape when a "produced by Jim Carrey" credit appears atop his noodle-limbed exaggeration of "I Believe I Can Fly." his corporate-greed satire doesn't just lack bite. It lacks gnaw. It even lacks nibble.
