It seems that Dick Harper has reacted too much & too soon about his job promotion along with his wife, Jane Harper in the Fun with Dick & Jane movie. Little did he know that becoming the Vice President of communications at Globadyne was part of a sinister plot by the company's scheming CEO, Jack McCallister (Alec Baldwin). Alec does seem to have a knack for playing the bad guy who thinks life is about getting away with a lot of money after ruining people's lives. He plays the character very well with his suave; "I could not care any less" persona. The CEO (Chief Executive Officer) took $400 million siphoned from the now bankrupt company, Globadyne.
The people who suffer most are the employees of Globadyne. They trusted the company with everything they owned, including their savings & retirement bonds. They had no idea that the company that they entrusted embezzling their money. The Fun with Dick & Jane is all about the struggle faced by the previous employees of Globadyne particularly Dick. The beauty of the story is that through thick & thin, from being honest income earners to criminals like Bonnie & Clyde, the beautiful couple held strongly together. As petty thieves, Dick Harper & Jane Harper find out that they are actually good together as a team, performing illicit activities. Tea Leoni is a sexy co star & blends well & complements his antics.
Dick & his wife somehow managed to trick their way to the $400 million of money siphoned by the scheming Globadyne CEO, Jack McCallister. I reckon Dick Harper & Jane Harper deserves to keep a few million dollars for themselves since they did all the hard work. On the other hand, maybe is trying to emulate Jack's character. It would be a more suitable ending for the scheming Globadyne CEO, Jack McCallister to go to jail. The moral would be to not invest all your money at the company where you work & depend on the uncertain pension plan from a Million Dollar company. It is less likely to be hearing the same bad news from billion dollar companies; well except for the likes of Enron.
