Plot Summary
Demi Moore and David Duchovny star as a seemingly perfect couple who, along with their equally perfect teenagers (Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth) move into an upscale gated community. The Joneses have better goods and game 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.

Top Critics' Reviews
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: It makes for good, although not great, satire of the consumer culture that helped wreck the economy.
Rotten: The Joneses starts with a great pitch but ultimately fails to close the deal.
Rotten: By the end, The Joneses feels a little too satisfied with its own admittedly clever conceit and for the broad leeway it allows itself in the creative bandying of logos and slogans.
Customer Reviews
ehh good, but.....
The Joneses is a good movie ill admit it. But one problem youve seen it a million times before, you know exactly whats gonna happen. Dont let that stop you from renting it, its very funny and enjoyable.
Originality at its best
What an outstanding premise for a movie. I loved every minute of it.
Great movie!!!
As much as funny is the movie, still makes you think what materialistic world we live in.
