Fun with Dick and Jane (1977)

Plot:  An Unemployed Aerospace Engineer (Dick) and his wife (Jane) turn to armed robbery to maintain their upper class life.
Stars:  George Segal, Jane Fonda, Ed McMahon

The movie has a good comedy idea, but its badly executed with  various bits of crudity, and the worst crime of all: unfunny jokes. And three other problems:

•  Dick" and "Jane" as written, aren't particularly likable. They're frivolous, materialistic, amoral spendthrifts.  There's  no real difference between them and their corrupt boss. Why should I care that they're losing their swimming pool and Mexican Cook?
• George Segal - whose popularity always mystifies me - dominates the film. He isn't believable as an Aerospace Engineer, or even likable. He works well with Fonda, but the two seem like brother and sister - there's no romance.
• The production values, script, and supporting cast are at "TV movie of the Week" levels.

Summary:  I find Fun with Dick and Jane guilty of filming a comedy with an unfunny script. And casting George Segal, a compound felony.  I sentence it to "never watch again."  Fans of 1970s comedy may be more lenient.
