Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to Dick or anyone else, Jack has embezzled all of the company's money and put the blame on CFO Frank Bascombe (RICHARD JENKINS). With the company bankrupt and its stock now worthless, everyone is laid off, including Dick who had earlier convinced Jane that it would be a good time for her to quit her unfulfilling travel agency job and spend more time with their son.
When neither can find a job and with their finances dwindling, the couple starts selling their belongings, but when their newly sodded lawn is repossessed, that's the final straw for Dick. On a whim, he decides to go out and take what he needs, eventually leading him and then Jane to go on a robbery spree that soon returns them to the lifestyle to which they were previously accustomed. But when they run into Frank and later Jack, they decide to take their criminal enterprise to a higher level by getting revenge on Dick's former boss.
Comedy style violence (people hitting or otherwise striking others, some slapstick style material including people and a dog being shocked by an electric dog collar, etc.) is present, while various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes. Various bits of potentially imitative behavior are present, while some people use fake and real guns during robberies. Some crude humor is present, as are instances of people drinking (one has become an alcoholic and is drunk, while another pretends to be drunk), while some drug references (spoken and visual, including a woman holding a joint) are made and a man briefly smokes a cigar.
