This Ordinary Life

Well, well, well... where to begin.

This film really takes you on a ride or better said a train wreck. Opening with elation, it quickly decends into the depths of a depressive existence. Dick is a communications executive for a global IT company. After a long expected promotion which causes him to convince his wife, Jane, to quit her job, he becomes the fall guy for an Enron-style corporate collapse.

Thus begins their slide. No one wants to hire either of them and after innumerous failures, it is the night before eviction. As they are on the verge of destitution, they decide to embark on crime spree which involves robbing everyone as far as the eye can see.

Then when things can't get any worse, Dick finds out that he might be indicted... What could possibly happen next?

Well, it turns out the CEO of that now defunct global corporation actually siphoned off $400 million from the company before its collapse and is now on his way to a bank to deposit them in his Cayman Island bank account. What could possibly happen next?

I would put you out of your misery, but I hate ruining the outcomes of films out of principle. This is definitely not one of Jim Carey and Marissa Tome's better films. However, if you are set on seeing a Jim Carey film, I would suggest you go see Me, Myself and Irene or Liar, Liar. Either is miles better and funnier.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDB.com), the source of all basic movie, director and actor information gave this one a 5.8 out of 10. I think they got it about right...
