Unfortunately it doesnt just use the base premise of the story, but resorts to outlandish setups for over the top results.

Most comedies will resort to sitcom stories, so kudos to the filmmakers for at the very least attempting to jazz things up.

Unfortunately they just werent funny, and the crude satire against such deserving villains as Bush and Lay had no bite.

The movies closing dedication to corporate scandals, including Enron, Tyco, Adelphia and WorldCom, is funny. Too bad the film itself isnt as clever.

The Good Carrey and Leoni make a fine comic team so its a shame that their talents are wasted on such a humourless script.

Most of it plays out as sub medium grade farce, but Carrey has some funny calisthenic bits where he appears to have the pliability of a rubber toy.

But Carrey and co star Leonis diverting voyage to retribution and salvation do make this Dick and Jane fun enough.

The film, however, doesnt collapse under the weight of its righteousness.As satires go, this is a drive by shooting that tickles.
