Watch The Joneses For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

We use this term in France to speak about the new economy about an individual doing business instead of firms, shops, official sellers. So here it's the case as this fake family is in truth a team of sellers who have sales objectives and reward bonus. I'm surprised to see that an American movie dares questioning this trend because usually this materialist way of life is considered like paradise ! At first, the movie is thus intriguing as those facts aren't not told immediately so if you notice that the family is a bit unusual, you can't tell why. Next, if the movie plunges into dark waters as tension and problem arises inside and outside the family : in short, consumerism and objects are not what people needs because they look for feelings and ties. If Moore is well casted here because she is surely this calculating, cold business woman (look her look !) and "Fox" is his usual cool guy until he experiences a revelation, the real problem comes with the kids : the girl is ecstatic to have sex with an older married man (a bit like in her real life) while the boy is the poor persecuted gay coming out of his closet! so this is what the real problem with America today, its lack of familial values ! But i understand that this movie says it's bad to sell but it's OK to have sex with whom you want ! I say no to both so maybe this movie is indeed original in economics, but at the end, it totally misses what's it's essential….

I think that as a whole this movie is very well done. It's a good story with an interesting base and solid performances from all the actors. This film can be basically taken (but not limited to) two different ways. Either this film is just plain entertainment; a Friday night filler with the family, or this is a message to the consumers of the world. We have to be careful who we believe out there. Everybody is trying to sell something. A person applying for a job is trying to sell their work ethic. Your blind date is trying to sell their personality. This world is full of advertisements vying for your attention and it won't be long before establishments like the Joneses unit exist in the world. There is a line that Steve uses while trying to sell his watch to his golf buddies- "It's all about who leaves with the most toys." If you want to live that way then fine, that's your choice, but just see what that did to the Joneses and all of their neighbors. It's definitely something to think about. Then again, maybe it's just a movie. It all depends on how you want to see it.

This is a serious comedy, or a dark satire if you like. Caricature if the perfect family of four. Rich, happy, successful, no less than three Audi's in the drive way, a wast wardrobe to choose from, all wearing Gucci and Rolex, playing golf, moving into a prosperous neighborhood. Not easy to be they neighbors. Are their life really that perfect? Are they just keeping up the appearances? You bet!The cast is doing great, well instructed, which makes this a more interesting comedy than I thought it was. Not your average Hollywood comedy garbage. This is well worth a watch, and gives certain perspectives.I like the lace of the film. It's sleek, good soundtrack, well balanced effects, really appealing. A great comedy about the modern consumer society and what makes it tick. Addiction to the newest, to the need for a perfect life.

I've never heard of this before; it's quite brilliant, and certainly better than I thought it would be. Why is it that when there finally comes a different movie, different from all the rest of the cliché crap, it doesn't get much attention? It's such a clever way to market new products, but everyone always seems to forget the nature of humans and their feelings. That's why I'm amazed at the work of actors; some slip through and get together, but the rest for the most part can have no feelings for a person, but make it look otherwise. I guess that's what you call just business - and of course things go awry. This was a very fun movie to watch. I doubt anyone would guess the ending, but that's just me maybe. I highly recommend this fun- filled movie; it just might tell you what family really is.
