An ordinary suburban couple finds it’s not easy keeping up with the Joneses – their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbors – especially when they discover that Mr. and Mrs. “Jones” are covert operatives.
A suburban couple, Jeff and Karen Gaffney, discover that their new neighbors, Tim and Natalie Jones, are actually undercover CIA agents. The Gaffneys get inadvertently drawn into the world of espionage when they help the Joneses investigate a suspected international arms dealer. This leads to a series of comedic and action-packed misadventures as the two couples navigate high-stakes missions while trying to maintain their cover.
Keeping Up with the Joneses was met with generally negative reviews from critics. While some praised the cast's chemistry and individual performances, particularly Isla Fisher and Gal Gadot, the film was widely criticized for its predictable plot, uninspired humor, and lack of originality. Audiences also found the film to be a disappointment, resulting in a lukewarm box office performance.
Google audience: Audience reviews indicate that while some viewers found the premise amusing and enjoyed the performances of the lead actors, many felt the movie was not particularly funny and relied too heavily on clichés. The action sequences were sometimes cited as a positive, but the overall consensus is that the film was forgettable and lacked a strong narrative.
Gal Gadot was already cast as Wonder Woman in the DC Extended Universe when this film was released, and she filmed this movie shortly before starting her own rigorous training for the superhero role.
