It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreI enjoyed it, but I'm glad I waited until it was free ondemand instead of watching it in the theaters. I like the cast list. Basically, as funny as expected.
View MoreKeeping Up with the Joneses is a predictable fish out of water spy romp which is derivative of other similar films and add nothing much more in comedy or action.Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher are Jeff and Karen, a suburban couple. Jeff works in Human Resources for a government contractor and both have time for themselves as the kids have gone to summer camp.Suddenly moving next door and paid for the house in cash is a new young couple, Tim (Jon Hamm) and Natalie (Gal Gadot) who show an interest in the couple especially Jeff's work.It turns out the Jones are spies and Jeff and Karen are roped into their mission which includes finding someone leaking information from Jeff's company. This is rather easy to guess as several of his friends borrow Jeff's computer to go online as he is the only one in his company to have access to the internet because he is not regarded important enough.The plot is thin and gets messier it goes along. At one time we have to believe that Jeff cannot instantly recall a guy who he once dealt with for his personnel issues and went by the name of Bruce Springstine.
View MoreJeff Gaffney (Zach Galifianakis) is an HR rep at MBI, a defense contractor. He allows employees to use his computer because it is unsecured and has Internet access. While not the greatest of HR reps he is super likable as is his wife Karen (Isla Fisher). When a perfect couple moves in across the street on Maple Circle, Karen suspects they are industrial spies. While Jeff bonds with Tim (Jon Hamm) as only Jeff can, Karen tails the exotic Natalie (Gal Gadot).This is an action comedy well written and executed. Good for a few goofy laughs as Zach goes into his friendly Naive role.Guide: Caught 1 f-bomb -Natalie in late restaurant scene. Implied sex. No nudity. Sex talk.
View MoreThis is not the best comedy out there but this is also not the worst comedy either.The story wasn't something that would blow someone's mind off. Its jokes are not gonna make someone laughing and rolling on the floor at the same time. But its a movie that is funny and enjoyable enough to make one feel like...'Meh, it was alright' The 75% of the main cast is very attractive. So I must say this is easy on eyes. On the other hand acting of the cast wasn't that great. More than often it felt average and the attractiveness would help swallow some of the bad stuffs happening on the screen.This is a movie no one would watch for a second time(except for those Gadot fans). But its a good enough comedy that deserves to be watched...just once.
