Dopey but fairly entertaining.

A picture graced with four bright performances but hampered by a plot that felt recycled even back when Millard Fillmore was president.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Will make you jones for laughs and action.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

The one-liner riffs keep rolling out throughout the entire picture, but with the same tepidness as the start.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 5, 2020

It's charming and kind-hearted to the extreme, with enough comedy nerd cameos to keep fanboys on alert.

Is it reinventing the espionage comedy? No. It is, however, fun and light, and has very pretty people being funny. Do we really need more than that in a date film right now?

| Original Score: B | Oct 21, 2019

A spy adventure that despite being powered by an impressive, talented cast, is disappointingly dull and devoid of any significant laughs.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 22, 2019

[Keeping Up with the Joneses] is an uneven movie that relies too heavily on its dynamic cast to its considerable detriment.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 14, 2019

Overall, the film just feels like the writers and crew just gave up.

I am not sure why people still think Zach Galifianakis is funny...

| Nov 12, 2018

...an espionage action-comedy that meanders in its broad banality...is enough reason to have Keeping Up with the Joneses classified as an aborted mission to a lesser degree.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 9, 2018

This is a comedy that's in desperate need of its own identity and Mottola can't find that identity even with the spirited performance of Galifianakis.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 1, 2018

There's nothing remotely charming about "Keeping Up with the Joneses," no moment that'll make all the bad ones feel less so. It's flat, dull, and ridiculous.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 22, 2018

The dialogue feels clunky and forced, like you're watching an hour and a half long improv set where nobody really knows where the script is going and everyone's just rolling with it.

| Aug 21, 2018

All in all, this movie is just sort of nothing. It's not going to make you angry that it exists, but it's not gonna make you happy either. It simply occupies space and time, but leaves no real effect on you.

| May 9, 2018

With such a decent cast, the film does have its comic moments but the material seems stretched, the budget limited and the end result quickly forgettable.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2017

Keeping Up with the Joneses is not a good movie-it's dumb, boring, and predictable-but it's stacked with an excellent cast, dozens of chuckles, and a handful of legitimately brilliant LOLs.

| Aug 21, 2017

Instantly forgettable.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2017

Viewers who can't get enough of Galifianakis or Hamm will enjoy seeing the two spar onscreen, delivering in spades the unexpected phrasing and smoldering smirks each actor does so well.

| Original Score: B | Dec 19, 2016

Despite being directed by Gregg Mottola (Superbad, Paul), the comic scenes play out with often banal interplay that barely has a whiff of improvised mayhem, while the action sequences are essentially generic.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 9, 2016
