'Keeping up with the Joneses' isn't that hard to keep up with, but it is fun. Not the funniest film ever written, nor is it the most original, but then, it's not trying to be. This movie knows what it is and knows what it's not and plays its hand beautifully.
Isla Fisher's character is easily the most interesting while Gal Gadot's is the funniest. The males are dry and uninspired, one too suave and Bond- like while secretly hating his job, the other a bumbling idiot that tries too hard to get laughs from the audience. The screenwriters didn't delve into their vaults for anything of value when penning this script and could have worked a little harder to have the film keep up with you.
Nothing here will stay with you forever but there are worse ways to spend an afternoon. 6/10
