The Joneses

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It doesn't pursue its subversive premise as far as it should, but The Joneses benefits from its timely satire of consumer culture -- as well as a pair of strong performances from David Duchovny and Demi Moore.

The Joneses starts with a great pitch but ultimately fails to close the deal. Go to Full Review
Robert Hanks Independent (UK) Apr 12, 2011
3/5
Borte, directing his first film, does a smooth, confident job, so that even though the set-up isn't quite plausible you're happy to go along with it. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Exceptionally thoughtful, not only in terms of consumerism, but when considering the value of compassion as well. Worth your hard earned money, no strings attached. Go to Full Review

The Joneses is a movie with a lot to study and comment on…its unfortunate that the film does not have the same courage as its convictions. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Harry W Jul 22, 2018 I was in one of those moods and this movie just hit all the right notes. There is nothing really special about the movie, but Duchovny is always fun to watch, and Demi Moore was a decent foil. See more
Abraham R Apr 28, 2018 The movie didn't really know what it was, hut it was fairly enjoyable nonetheless. Moore and Duchovny are good together and the children were played without any annoying qualities. Interesting story. Fairly well executed. See more
Han W Jul 15, 2017 I watched this on Netflix and got very exited in the first half hour, thinking I was watching a series, not a film. I could immediately see how each episode could deal with the various character's motivations and difficulties and how more major plot lines. such as the central characters burgeoning romance, could tie the series as a whole together. I was therefore confused in the second half hour, when the story arc was clearly not shaping into an hour. As a TV series, this would have been a massive hit. Desperate Housewives, meets Californication. Unfortunately, the idea is too big for the time-limitations of a film and I was left feeling like an unsatisfied lover - it was good while it was happening, but I needed more to be fulfilled and enraptured. That said, I'd go back for more - come on Hollywood, give it another go in series form - it'd run for 5 series. See more
