Despite being directed by Gregg Mottola (Superbad, Paul), the comic scenes play out with often banal interplay that barely has a whiff of improvised mayhem, while the action sequences are essentially generic.

The only redeemable thing about this film, is the performance of its cast. However, the material simply isn't worthy of their efforts. [Full review in Spanish]

It's the "see what sticks" type of mainstream movie-making, predicated upon little more than throwing obvious elements together.

Without a fresh approach, the film settles for product placement and the pedestrian, perhaps under the delusion that pedestrian is an equivalent for tried and true. It isn't.

Keeping Up With the Joneses is as blandly generic as its title, a comedy that telegraphs every beat with a one-sentence description of the premise and continues the cinematic squandering of Zach Galifianakis since The Hangover.

Viewers who can't get enough of Galifianakis or Hamm will enjoy seeing the two spar onscreen, delivering in spades the unexpected phrasing and smoldering smirks each actor does so well.

As long as there's suburbia, there will always be movies about near-middle-aged couples reckoning with their dull lives.

This story of the spies next door is wooden and slow-paced with enough intrigue to lull a toddler to sleep.
October 21, 2016
Even by mainstream studio comedy standards, Keeping Up with the Joneses is poor. It plays like it was conceived in a Hollywood pitch meeting and has zero connection to human reality.
October 22, 2016
Structured with the kind of obviousness that makes you outwit the screenwriter and then hate movies in general, Greg Mottola's painfully generic suburban spy comedy wastes everybody's time, onscreen and off.
