Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[Demi Moore is] She's one reason to see writer-director's Derrick Borte's zeitgeist fable The Joneses. Though she's not the only one.

fresh:
A cheeky little commentary on modern consumption, The Joneses offers an uneasy balance between what's funny and what's not, staying just edgy enough to be uncomfortable while hitting its targets.

fresh:
Mr. Borte conjures up a pleasant Stepford that runs less on robotic conformity than on endless, anxious competition. The key to the film is that it allows this life to have some real appeal.

fresh:
There's a nicely cynical streak at the heart of The Joneses, until Borte goes soft and lets the audience off the hook.

rotten:
The Joneses starts with a great pitch but ultimately fails to close the deal.
