Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Indiewire


The most surprising thing about Keeping Up with the Joneses isn’t that it’s actually funny, but that some touching unlikely friendships emerge amidst the outrageous action sequences.

“Keeping Up With the Joneses” delivers its ritual quota of action as it checks off every squares-meet-the-suaves domestic-spy-comedy box.

Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By Screen International


Keeping Up with the Joneses may have twice the talent of other outings in the spy-couple sub-genre…but its laugh quotient is pretty low. And that’s a real problem for a romantic action comedy that’s always going more for humour, with a touch of sweet-natured romance, than thrills.

Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By The Hollywood Reporter


Stale as week-old bread and every bit as bland, the movie saddles a strong cast with a groaningly ineffectual script (courtesy of Michael LeSieur, who wrote 2006’s You, Me and Dupree) and wastes the director’s gift for bringing lived-in charm and feeling to broad comic premises.

Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016) Hollywood Movie Review By TheWrap


This black hole of a film is a waste of this talented crew’s time, yes, but it’s also a waste of audience time, offering no laughs, no ideas, no fresh perspectives, nothing.
