Dick
(Jim
Carrey)
and
Jane
(Teá
Leoni)
are
a
typical
suburban
couple.
They
have
a
nice
house
in a
development,
she
works
as a
travel
agent
to
supplement
his
white-collar
income,
and
their
son’s
first
language
is
Spanish
thanks
to
spending
so
much
time
with
nanny
Blanca
(Gloria
Garayua).
Things
change
in
the
blink
of
an
eye
when
Dick
is
promoted
to
vice
president
of
communications
at
Globodyne,
where
he
has
worked
for
years.
His
first
order
of
business:
to
appear
on a
popular
news
show
about
business
and
money
and
lend
his
magic
touch
to
news
of
Globodyne’s
earnings.
But
Dick
doesn’t
know
that
Globodyne
is
about
to
tank,
and
in
the
midst
of
his
interview
the
situation
goes
from
bad
to
horrendous
and
he
becomes
the
scapegoat.
In
the
blink
of
an
eye
he
is
unemployed,
his
pension
is
bust,
and
he
can’t
find
a
job
to
save
his
life.
Their
front
lawn
is
even
repossessed.
To
make
matters
worse,
Jane
quit
her
job
as
soon
as
Dick
was
promoted,
their
house
has
lost
value,
and
their
savings
was
in
Globodyne
stock.
Months
later
the
Harpers
find
themselves
in
increasingly
dire
straits.
They
resort
to
paying
their
nanny
with
appliances,
selling
all
of
their
possessions
and
are
facing
foreclosure
on
their
house
when
Dick
has
a
brainstorm:
he’ll
start
to
steal.
Jane
joins
him,
and
soon
the
duo
is
dressing
in
elaborate
costumes
and
robbing
local
businesses
and
homes.
When
their
final
job
goes
bust,
they
decide
to
go
for
the
big
heist:
scamming
Globodyne
president
Jack
McAllister
(Alec
Baldwin)
out
of
his
stolen
fortune.
Dean Parisot
(HOME
FRIES)
directs
this
remake
of
the
1977
film
of
the
same
name,
which
has
been
cheekily
updated
to
incorporate
the
phenomenon
of
white-collar
crime.
Richard
Jenkins
and
Carlos
Jacott
round
out
the
cast.
