Trivia

Production Designer Mark Ricker and Art Director Jeremy Woolsey made maximum use of the production's principal locations: the Gaffneys' beloved cul-de-sac, and the dilapidated former Army base across which the film's action centerpiece - a wild car chase - unfolds.

Goofs

The Jones' car has a New York plate, but the film takes place in Georgia. If they wanted to blend in and not blow their cover, they should have switched to a Georgia plate.

User Reviews

Not hard to keep up with, it's a very OK.

It's a pretty good comedy.

The average Suburban family gets a new neighbors, who are more than what they seem. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher made a cute couple in the movie. very good comedy duo in an mediocre film.

Jon Hamm is a fantastic straight man for the comedy that Galifianakis was dishing out.

Gal Gadot is impressive. She's the one who has to keep up with the other three and she does a good job. i don't think I've seen her do anything outside the Fast and Furious movies so it was nice to see that she can do something else.

I know i'm sitting here writing about the film, but for the most part there is really is not anything to write about. It gives you enough laughs so I feel like I did not waste my cash, but it's definitely not a movie you'll remember down the road. Nothing spectacular.
