Comedy. Action An ordinary suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis & Isla Fisher) finds it's not easy keeping up with the Joneses (Jon Hamm & Gal Gadot) - their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbors - especially when they discover that Mr. and Mrs. "Jones" are covert operatives. The couple will become embroiled in an international espionage plot when they discover that these seemingly perfect new neighbors are government spies.

	Author	Review
United States	Devan Coggan Entertainment Weekly	"'Keeping Up with the Joneses' isn’t bad, just forgettable (...) There are more than a few laugh-out-loud lines, but they’re undercut by an overly sappy message"	NEU
United States	Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"The absence of laughs can’t be blamed on a lack of talent. The movie’s utilitarian construction and non-igniting star chemistry are a surprise from this director, Greg Mottola"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"An amiable time-killer"	POS
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	Greg Mottola has made some fine contributions to big-screen comedy (...) but his new film, Keeping Up With the Joneses, is decidedly not one of them"	NEG
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"This black hole of a film is a waste of this talented crew’s time, yes, but it’s also a waste of audience time, offering no laughs, no ideas, no fresh perspectives, nothing"	NEG
United Kingdom	Chris Hewitt Empire	"A rather muddled effort which doesn’t even begin to explore the comedic potential of its premise (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
