Keeping Up with the Joneses

A very decent cast (excluding Zach G.) made me watch this film and didn’t let me down. It’s no masterpiece, but it is a feel-good comedy that doesn't make you think too much, so you can just relax and enjoy yourself. Jon Hamm and Isla Fisher kept me entertained all the way through, so I wasn't dissatisfied. (16/06/2017)

A very average action comedy. I like Zach Galifianakis, he was very funny recently in the comedy Masterminds, but unfortunately here he plays too much of a normal person, so he is not funny at all. He has to get downright imbecile roles to make it work. The theme is pretty bland and has been seen 1000 times. The film doesn't come up with anything new and I laughed I think only twice which is woefully short. An extra star for the seductive Gal Gadot. 50% (02/01/2017)

I like comedy movies like this. Comedy intertwines with spy films here; it's action-packed, it's sexy, and at times quite inventive, but currently, it's somewhat unoriginal and relies solely on the fact that there are interesting actors involved. The mismatched pair Fisher/Galifianakis surprisingly clicked really well, I even felt they worked better together than Gadot/Hamm. (14/02/2017)

Of the Gal Gadot films that premiered between Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Wonder Woman, Keeping Up with the Joneses is a very big fail. Yes, she's statuesque, and she's funny and sexy when paired with Isla Fisher, but she didn't start getting real acting roles until much later... This is just a bit of a cross between Fast and Furious and testing the audience to see if they'll accept an action protagonist in a comedy. (16/02/2022)

For a comedy, there are only about three slightly above-average jokes, the rest of it is pathetically unfunny. Disastrously filmed, action scenes straight out of a terrible B-movie, pitiful dialogues and the whole thing is borderline cringeworthy. Everything about the movie is just wrong and it’s all so mind-numbing. Not even the visual aspect of Gal Gadot and Isla Fisher is used to the fullest. Let’s face it, neither of them is ever going to win an Oscar. I would make the screenwriter watch this movie in an endless loop as punishment to realize what sort of crap he brought into the world. Plus, the practically impossible happened and the usually hilarious Zach Galifianakis is a crashing bore here. (13/04/2017)
