Review of The Joneses (2010) by Jose Z — 05 Nov 2010
The Joneses features a seemingly perfect couple (Moore and Duchovny) with their equally perfect teenager son and daughter (Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth). They have better goods and ganme than any other family in town, the only problem is they're not a family: they are employees of a stealth marketing organization, and they know how to make everyone else want what they've got.
The movie seems interesting and original but on screen I only saw a slow paced boring drama.The movie is an hour and a half of commercials, it seems that they are trying to sell you all the stuff that appears in the film.
The cast although it is very good, their performances are weak. Demi Moore appears to be uncomfortable with her role, David Duchovny is extremely charmless, Amber Heard and Benjamin Hollingsworth look like they need acting classes.
The only ones that are worthy are Gary Cole and Glenne Headly as Larry and Summer,The Joneses neighbors. In conclusion, The Joneses is a movie that isn't worthy, avoid it, and if you still wanna see it, its under your own risk.
This is not a recommendation, its a warning.
