"The Joneses"
In my opinion this movie was grate there's something that money can buy.... true happiness cannot be bought. There were a few moments where the film felt like it wanted to go darker but it was either afraid to or held back in some way. They could have also mocked more of the products and pushed that side of the film further had they not been real.
I believe they’re marketing this film as a dreamed but when you look at it as a romantic comedy it’s much more of a success. So many of the “rom-coms” that we get now-a-days are so contrived, cliched, and pointless, that it’s nice to see that the genre still has life. Just because it’s both romantic and funny, doesn't mean that it can’t also be clever and real. This film is what a romantic comedy used to be and should be again.
The Joneses are the perfect family made up of two gorgeous, successful parents Steve and Kate Jones and their lovely teen-aged children Jenna and Mick. Together they are the envy of their posh, suburban neighborhood filled with Mc Mansions and all the trappings of the upper middle class. But The Joneses aren't as perfect as they seem, they’re a mock family, paid to not only live the dream but sell it to everyone around them.
