A very original take on the "keeping up with the Joneses" idea - everybody wants what the Joneses have. It may sound like any other film where we watch rich people live their selfish lives, but they quickly turn that on its head. It's much more clever and interesting. The creative premise can seem a bit far-fetched but it was immediately brought back down to Earth with the realism of the characters. I was completely intrigued by these characters, and particularly impressed with the emotion that was shining from beneath Duchovny's handsome surface.
I had no idea what to expect from "The Joneses". And, well, that's exactly what I got - something that I never could have expected. And it was great. This film is original and intelligent, especially with some of their perceptions of society. It can be a bit cynical at times but that just adds some dark humour which all the best films have. I highly recommend "The Joneses", especially for people who like a little bit of thought and originality in films.
That said, I perhaps would have enjoyed 'The Joneses' more had I not seen the trailer. The trailer revealed too much of the plot and that ruins the surprise element which would have made it more interesting had the viewer experienced the unfolding of the story through the film.
Yet, it is a well made picture with well-defined characters. David Duchovny and the ravishing Demi Moore are in top form. Both deliver subtle and nuanced performances. Glenne Heady and Gary Cole provide superb support. The art direction is impressive. The Joneses house looks too good to be true but that's the point. Derrick Borte does a competent job of balancing humour and intensity. On the flip side, the ending felt a little rushed and the daughter's character was a little shoddily written.
Overall, 'The Joneses' is an entertainer that's also enlightening.
I went into this movie because I'm a fan of Duchovny and was expecting a mediocre film, but it turned out to be so much more.
Go see this film, you won't be disappointed.
What appears to be a happy and generous family is all a farce. And yet, within this farce, every single family member is so likable. They come across as a harmonious and happy model family. Everything they do within the sight of others is so charming and infectiously enviable. Therefore, it is interesting to see the contrast when they are behind close doors. The film successfully makes this contrast entertaining and fun. It is also good at preparing for the ending, which gives the comedy a more serious side. "The Joneses" is a well executed comedy with a darker side. I enjoyed it a lot.

Steve Jones: Man, this thing rides smooth!
Kate Jones: It's very nice.
Steve Jones: Yes, it's like riding on the ass of an angel. I mean, I wish I could have sold a crossover like this, I wouldn't have been able to keep them in stock.
