Review of The Joneses (2010) by Lorenzo V — 21 Aug 2010
"They're not just living the American dream, they're selling it.".
A seemingly perfect family moves into a suburban neighborhood, but when it comes to the truth as to why they're living there, they don't exactly come clean with their neighbors.
REVIEW.
This film is about a upper class family moving into a new neighbourhood. Their shiny lifestyle instantly becomes the envy of the town. What appears to be a happy and generous family is all a farce. And yet, within this farce, every single family member is so likable. They come across as a harmonious and happy model family. Everything they do within the sight of others is so charming and infectiously enviable. Therefore, it is interesting to see the contrast when they are behind close doors. The film successfully makes this contrast entertaining and fun. It is also good at preparing for the ending, which gives the comedy a more serious side. "The Joneses" is a well executed comedy with a darker side. I enjoyed it a lot.
