  Lee's Movie Info - Dick and Jane Review
One of the signs that this movie has no selling points beyond the stars’ names can be found by watching the trailer: If you notice, the mini-mart robbery and ATM machine bits are the supposed “money moments,” and there is nothing else to those scenes that the ad isn’t showing.
Dick and Jane could end being a repeat of that flick at the box office; Ben Affleck sunk himself with Surviving Christmas (C-/C) and this in that league, and could be best described as Jim Carrey’s Envy (C-).
Dick and Jane has more of a commercial story in comparison to Majestic, but the gags are likely to only entertain the absolute easiest to please.

 Jesusfreakhideout.com "Fun With Dick & Jane" Movie Review
When the company Dick works for becomes involved in an Enron-like scandal and he is confronted with the prospect of losing everything, Dick and Jane are forced to bag, borrow and steal to get it all back.
There is a bit of comedic violence (Dick gets punched in the face while trying to get a job; tackles a man in anger; to name a couple), and also a somewhat glorified view of stealing (which the title characters do to make ends meet when they become financially destitute).
On her pajamas is a hand print of mud on her chest where Dick had apparently touched her in the night; All excited from their first successful robbery, Dick and Jane exaggeratingly and passionately make out in the car (played for laughs), but the scene ends there.

 Fun With Dick & Jane Movie Review - Fun With Dick & Jane Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
After Dick loses his long-awaited vice president job in a corporate corruption scandal (he was just a patsy), the Harpers make a fast, hilarious skid into poverty.
Dick has to trade in his new BMW for a beat-up Ford, their meals come from soup kitchens, and the housekeeper has to be paid with their new appliances.
The setting is California in 2000, at the start of a wave of corporate scandals, and the movie plugs into the popular intolerance, cynicism, and ambivalence toward the world's megacompanies: We can't live with 'em, but.

The Blank plays a major role in the movie, but the character is very different from Gould's Blank, aka "Faceless Redrum".
An all-star cast, vivid colors that could give you a headache and Madonna's sizzling performance made many think that "Dick Tracy" is much better than it actually is. It is one of those typical quantity over quality projects that uses smoke and mirrors to make the audience think that it is something unique and intriguing.
"Dick Tracy" is a good film, but it is far from being a masterpiece.

 Dick
The new film Dick is going to make a lot of Baby Boomers realize that they care about Richard Milhous Nixon more deeply than they’ve realized, and they’re going to resent this rank little upstart of a movie for the self-satisfied swipes it takes at him.
The film spends a lot of time deriding its characters for snoring, burping, farting, and scratching their asses, which are things that everyone does occasionally – that is, everyone except director Andrew Fleming and his co-writer, Sheryl Longin, if their attitude is any indication.
And in the early part of Dick, before Nixon becomes a mere punching-bag, the scenes where he works his charm on the girls serve as welcome ballast for their synchronized giggles and chirrups.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Dick Tracy | Deseret Morning News Web edition
As a live-action cartoon, "Dick Tracy" is clearly reaching for "Batman" heights, and there are aspects of this movie that resemble that film.
I realize "Popeye" does not have the best reputation as a film, but like "Popeye," "Dick Tracy" is presented in very broad strokes, garish colors, has dozens of characters in heavy makeup to faithfully resemble the original comic-strip persona and is loaded with campy, light, off-kilter humor.
On the whole "Dick Tracy" is a lot of fun, and fans of the offbeat may embrace it as a unique film amid a sea of movies that seem cloned from each other.

The bad side is that the jokes are pretty flat and the movie's comedy spans about an hour while the movie goes on for an hour and a half.
However, supporters of Nixon, and the ones who think he made up for his mistakes after his Presidency, might not enjoy Hedaya's Nixon mainly because once the truth pops in to the girls' heads (they basically go on a revenge plot because he is mean to the dog), he becomes rather nasty.
The movie's lines aren't very intellectual, but the way everything is handled makes a good comedy.
