Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I 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.

Midsize PG comedies swinging for a double never seem to get any love from critics. Sure trifles like "Keeping Up with the Joneses" won't leave you in stitches but it has its moments. Most of the moments come from jokes related to Zach Galifianakis' skills as an HR professional coming in handy when dealing with ruthless thugs. Also, the friend dynamic between the always eminently watchable John Hamm playing with type as a hyper-confident man's man and the sensitive Jeff Gaffney. They both have a genuine character development arc and learn from the relationship. Some of the dialog and action sequences brings some real laughs and some real pathos but, no, none of it is a home run. In short, if you don't expect to much you might not be let down with this modest outing.

This was hard to watch. Jon Hamm became a favorite of mine during Mad Men. He tried to fit Mottola's (directors) requests but it just didn't work. Is Mottola trying for a Mr. and Mrs, Smith type movie? Gal Gadot tip toes in many scenes and probably can't run or is not very athletic. The film simply takes too long to get to the Jones being spies. It drags at every part and all my guest simply looked at each other whenever a poor attempt was made at comedy and shook their heads. It wasn't a total waste of time. I luckily didn't pay to watch this film and I had a notebook in my lap. This film should have been made for television and never aired at the theater.

Netflix might be causing me to watch some questionable movies. Seeing the cast of this I figured it would be reasonably funny. I was mostly correct. It has a few quite funny scenes and doesn't become an utter farce.The 4 leads Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot are well-cast and have pretty good chemistry together. I think I most surprised on how restrained Zach's performance is. It was almost as if the director reigned him but despite that he still has a few funny moments.There's much worse comedies out there which is about how high my praise is going to get for this movie. If you're wondering if it's awful, it's not. If you're wondering if it's great, it's not. A fairly dumb plot with good acting and thin character motivations. I don't regret watching it but I won't be revisiting.
