Summary: One of my favorite movies
Review: Charming and still funny. Sadly unknown. If you watch this alongside "Klute," you'll see how versatile Jane Fonda is.
RELEASE THE DVD!

Summary: Hysterically funny and clever!!
Review: I actually saw this at the theater when it first came out. I nearly wet my pants laughing. It's a little dated in styles now but still just as funny as ever. I'm sure everyone can relate to some of the scenes. One of my all time favorite movies and I am waiting to buy it on DVD!

Summary: Columbia Home Vid Forgot the DELETED Scenes!!!
Review: I bought this recently wondering if the fun would still be there after a few decades. Sometimes things have to be rethought, updated. "Dick and Jane" still works all by itself. We might be conditioned to think of Jane Fonda for her dramatic roles, but she is a superior comedian and does a superb job as Jane.

I consider it one of the top movies of all time -- but many people need weight and heft before they will stake any such claim. If you are one of those, I'm sorry. I will always love this film.

If anyone knows how to campaign for a DVD version, let us know. A few other reviewers have asked for a DVD version, I see.

One reason I wanted to write this review is that I recently saw "The Morning After" and was surprised that my opinion was so different than most reviews I researched. This is a fine look at Jane Fonda's ability by Sidney Lumet. I think a lot of people misunderstand what they are seeing, however. If you don't "get it" you might not appreciate the brilliance of this performance: we don't know who Fonda is portraying for most of the movie. Seeing an actor is most often like receiving a specially prepared gift. The actor's work ususally supplies a lot of "givens" to the developing story. Not the case in "The Morning After." Here, we are challenged rather than coddled to. Only near the end do we find that the character's history includes more than the status of a "ne'er-been" TV walk-on actress.

I was will be thinking about this movie for days and watching it again. And watching "Fun with Dick and Jane" more, too. Both of these films should make you proud of a job well done by Jane Fonda.

Summary: Columbia Home Vid Forgot the DELETED Scenes!!!
Review: I loved this movie ever since i saw it when i was a kid.
Two additional scenes were added to the broadcast television premiere on ABC. One that stands out is a scene with Jane (Fonda) getting a job behind a cosmetics counter and having to confront a very difficult obese older female customer. This was a very funny scene that seems to now be lost and Is NOT going to be included in the new DVD release.
I didn't have a VCR at the time to timecapsule this extended version, It never was again! I hoped that it would make it's way onto DVD.
Columbia why do this!!!!! that scene as I rembember it was one of the best scenes in the film and made it even more enjoying. Unhappy fan :(

Summary: Unbeleivable
Review: I was surprised not to find comments on this very funny and nice work. WE enjoyed the movie and I was very pleased to kwon I can get it from you. I shall ask for it inmediately. Jane was young, pretty and, as always, BRIGHT. Segal was hansome,very likeable and gave a great performance. I would not say the picture deserved all the Oscars, but after you have seen it you will find yourself with a big smile in your face, something that at home, all of us appreciate.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun
Review: I've also loved this movie since I was a kid. Fonda and Segal have terrific chemistry, and their comic timing is impeccable. Sharp, witty script too. I've also been hoping to find a copy with the deleted scene at the cosmetics counter. (I seem to remember Rose Marie from the Dick Van Dyke Show being in it, and it was hilarious.) Sorry not to see it on the DVD. Funny cameos from Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma from the Train) and Dick Gautier as a crooked evangelist. All in all VERY funny.

Summary: Fun with Dick and Jane
Review: If properly promoted, this comedy would have been a major hit. I'm hoping and waiting for a DVD as are 3 others that I know of. Everyone that I have shown my VHS tape of it, loves the movie. In fact I've had this tape floating around with my movie buff friends for a long time and I'm sorry that it is showing its age. I'm just afraid that this is one of those wonderful movies that are going to get lost forever. Watching it once just doesn't allow the viewer to catch all of the spoofs on life. It's even more enjoyable after a second and third time, because of it.
