Fun with Dick and Jane (1977)



Released February 9th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
The story: Dick and Jane are a happily married couple with one son, one dog, and a nice life.
When Dick loses his job unexpectedly they believe they won't go under too quickly.
Both Jane and Dick try getting jobs they are unqualified for but that is hopeless.
Unemployment just isn't going to happen, borrowing money is out of the question and then getting turned down for a loan after already being in debt for two prior loans,  Dick and Jane have no idea what they will do.
When they are unexpectedly at the bank during a robbery and Jane easily gets away with a handful of dough, Dick gets a brilliant idea to bring in the necessary funds.
