Credible it is not in some places but signatures can be copied and people can be conned. So the healthy measure of this and other antics behind the couple's masterminded scheme for revenge makes for a good laugh. In the meantime one wonders how far they will get.
Dick and Jane is an example of the modern suburban: the guy does not want to give up his shot at being a vice-president and the girl wants her husband to be rational about his expectations.
The story begins with the couple living in a wealthy home Dick is not far from his promotion but does not see his boss's escape scheme behind it. Soon enough he has to present a report on company spending but that turns out as an investor bailout; investors cancel their stock. Dick gets home and tells his wife, who just quit her job, that there are no worries as he will find something soon. Whatever the couple finds leads to a desperate rush for some stability as the value of their property drops; they cannot hold down any work and end up selling their belongings. It is all treated humoristically with the couple discussing their downfall in a pit outside their emptied home. Stealing becomes the only answer and even there, there is the humour of a couple pretending they can become mean over night.
This is a nice light comedy that one may introduce to language classes in order for the learner to try to follow the action without looking at the subtitles.
