Ok I admit it I turned this one off deciding it was American crud, then after reading a bit went back and re-watched it!

This movie is really very interesting and says a lot about our consumer culture. It just takes its merry old time getting to that point, if like me you think you’re time is valuable and turn things off after half an hour of sacheriny sweet nonsense..don’t do that with The Joneses.

Demi Moore is one of my least favourite actresses and David Duchovny should have just kept making X-Files episodes I’m afraid. So this film was working hard from the start with me.

I won’t tell you anymore about the plot as I will ruin the surprise, other than to say you will suddenly realize their is something very wrong with this seemingly perfect American family.
