The Trailer

The Review

It looks like ‘The Joneses’ is another of Hollywood predictable production.

Yes it is entertaining with its outlandish comedic appeal, but at the end of the film, you just wish you could have that 90 minutes back after watching it.

I guess the main selling point for this movie is its cast. Demi Moore and Ducohvny in particular of course. The latter I still find one actor who can’t act for nuts, and is perplexed at his popularity.

Well overall this movie is high on the star appeal, but low in its storytelling.

The Good

• A few good twist & turns in the movie

The Bad

• Terrible chemistry
• Dry humor
