This movie was lots of fun, but unfortunately did not live up to my expectations. Such brilliant comedies this year with Wedding Crashers and the 40 year old Virgin have raised the bar for comedies in the near future. The funniest part of this movie besides the premise itself was the kid playing the Dick and Jane's son. His part wasn't that big, but everytime he was on screen, he simply outshined both Jim Carry and Tea Leoni. Jim Carrey did a decent job getting back to the physical comedy we loved from him back in the Ace Ventura and the Mask days. Alec Baldwin did a great job playing the Bernie Ebbers/Ken Lay-esque CEO. Baldwin is on a roll especially after he single-handedly made an episode of Saturday Night Live enjoyable (The reenvisionment of Glengarry Glen Ross set up in the North Pole with the elves was simply brilliant). I loved the premise of the movie with the corporate scandals and the last line in the movie was simply brilliant.
