The Joneses is a movie with a lot to study and comment on…its unfortunate that the film does not have the same courage as its convictions. [Full review in Spanish]

As far as products go, The Joneses is just shy of the real deal.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 19, 2021
2010's first comedy that both stimulates intellectually and elicits laughs.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020
The Joneses, despite starring Moore and Duchovny is, nevertheless, a slyly entertaining, slick, and thought-provoking ride.

Keep up with The Joneses. They are worth their weight in gold, Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Disney, AT&T, fashion, food, wine.....

Rather like the characters that populate its world, The Joneses only skims the surface.

Joneses boasts an intriguing premise, but its uneven tone and contrived ending weaken the sale.

The Joneses invites audiences to reflect on what transcendent happiness really means and how things will not fill the yearning in our hearts.

As interesting as the message is with this film, it is equally as hypocritical of the movie industry to shake its finger at fads, trendsetters and materialistic nonsense.

Even with decent turns from the leads, and a usefully soulful one from Gary Cole as a neighbor inclined to do the proverbial keeping up, the film can't always manage to justify itself as an actual movie instead of merely a clever concept.

Dawn of the Dead made a savvier commentary on consumerism and materialism.

The Joneses starts with a great pitch but ultimately fails to close the deal.

A darkly comical satire about affluence might seem a bit ill-timed during a global recession. But a strong cast makes this film very watchable, even as it slips into melodrama.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 12, 2011
Think of it as an inverted Truman Show, with David Duchovny and Demi Moore as yuppified secret salesmen hawking an idealized suburban lifestyle while incognito.
| Original Score: 8.6/10 | Apr 12, 2011
Borte, directing his first film, does a smooth, confident job, so that even though the set-up isn't quite plausible you're happy to go along with it.
