You won't be disappointed!

The greatest movie ever!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The Joneses move into an upper-class suburb with the newest gadgets and the best style. Kate (Demi Moore) and Steve (David Duchovny) seem like a perfect couple but they don't have any chemistry in private. Mick (Ben Hollingsworth) is hiding his homosexuality. Jenn (Amber Heard) is slutty and tries to sleep with Steve. They are actually professional salespeople promoting their products. KC (Lauren Hutton) is their boss. Their neighbors Larry (Gary Cole) and Summer Symonds (Glenne Headly) start racking up debts to keep up with the Joneses.This is an intriguing concept but there is a decreasing return. The idea gets repetitive. The family members' personal drama is more compelling. Mick's relationship with Naomi could be interesting but his gay character can't have the easier romantic drama. It doesn't get the comedy but some of the drama works.

I read the short summary on IMDb about this, it really didn't say anything about the movie, I read somewhere else that it was a comedy and it had a good story, but again not giving me insight to the story. Not really knowing what this film was about, I started watching and after about 15 minutes your in the loop of things, its elaborated through out the movie and in some cases it's really good and refreshing to see this who-is-cheating-who-and-making- money-on-it kind of strange film.I thought it was funny to see Duchovny in this, I'm kinda sexy but doesn't really know how to handle this setup. I think Duchovny and Moore has a good partnership and they play their roles very well, from start to finish they change characters, not in a unexpected way, but in a regular to romantic-comedy's kind of way.It's a good movie and a good concept, one that maybe could have been done better, it's not a bad result at all, but I wasn't hundred percent entertained.

This film shows society is a different light. Everything that happens in the film is very very believable. I wouldn't say this film is amazing, however it's a film that has clear messages throughout. It's extremely interesting to watch how the events unfold. I don't want to say too much about the film. It's a film where it's not amazing but you won't lose anything by watching it.Spoilers ahead: 1. I didn't get the ending was the teenage boy said he wasn't living a lie... Technically he still was...? 2. This is exactly how us humans are. We simply want more and more things and the film represents that in a good way. The film could have developed the background of the characters more. But, the film worked and it was interesting.

After watching this movie, I felt that in the genre of movies, we should add one more category--- " humor ".. because "The Joneses" is certainly more than a comedy.. The story idea is original, the pace of the movie is good from beginning to end, the settings, as required by the story, are really suave, Demi Moore is forever elegant in all her outfits..Amber Heard as Jenn Jones and Ben Hollingsworth as Mick Jones are cute .. And, more than all else, David Duchovny could have carried off the entire movie on his smart and slender shoulders.. He is a matured man and a matured actor playing the role of a matured man and of a matured actor ( the latter being the demand of the story )And he has done it in a very matured way, excepting when Steve Jones loses his cool during Summer's tragedy.. A very good drama covering priorities and uncertainties of life, vulnerability of the middle class , primacy of money and supremacy of love..David Duchovny and Demi Moore have not disappointed their fans like me
