riekondoh-116-326404 I am a big follower of Indian Movies especially Malayalam and Hollywood.Shame on India for not sending this movie as their official Oscar entry. I have seen this movie and it has clearly revealed to me the maturity Hollywood cinema has in its screenplay and narrative which bollywood better catch up with.By the way to all we westerners, Hollywood Cinema is more qualitative and very different from Bollywood which is all about good looks glamour and promotion.Coming to the point what was India thinking when they sent a movie like 'Devdas' to the Oscars? That was a really a Masochist move. I think they are trying to punish Oscar judges with boredom by sending Devdas since the judges toppled Lagaan a few years back.'Devdas' is just a brigthly colored but stale and predictable melodrama of Love, fate and destiny. I would keep away from it. Anyway, not sending a movie like The Joneses shows how much of a revamp Indian administration needs to save them from poor administrators who lack intelligence. Now I know why this country has so many issues. They are heavily talented but not showcased properly.

Sarah Everett I think that as a whole this movie is very well done. It's a good story with an interesting base and solid performances from all the actors. This film can be basically taken (but not limited to) two different ways. Either this film is just plain entertainment; a Friday night filler with the family, or this is a message to the consumers of the world. We have to be careful who we believe out there. Everybody is trying to sell something. A person applying for a job is trying to sell their work ethic. Your blind date is trying to sell their personality. This world is full of advertisements vying for your attention and it won't be long before establishments like the Joneses unit exist in the world. There is a line that Steve uses while trying to sell his watch to his golf buddies- "It's all about who leaves with the most toys." If you want to live that way then fine, that's your choice, but just see what that did to the Joneses and all of their neighbors. It's definitely something to think about. Then again, maybe it's just a movie. It all depends on how you want to see it.

Mere Humsafar After watching this movie, I felt that in the genre of movies, we should add one more category--- " humor ".. because "The Joneses" is certainly more than a comedy.. The story idea is original, the pace of the movie is good from beginning to end, the settings, as required by the story, are really suave, Demi Moore is forever elegant in all her outfits..Amber Heard as Jenn Jones and Ben Hollingsworth as Mick Jones are cute .. And, more than all else, David Duchovny could have carried off the entire movie on his smart and slender shoulders.. He is a matured man and a matured actor playing the role of a matured man and of a matured actor ( the latter being the demand of the story )And he has done it in a very matured way, excepting when Steve Jones loses his cool during Summer's tragedy.. A very good drama covering priorities and uncertainties of life, vulnerability of the middle class , primacy of money and supremacy of love..David Duchovny and Demi Moore have not disappointed their fans like me

kosmasp Not really of course. This is anything but a conventional family movie. Saying more would be a spoiler (at least in my book), but let me tell you that if you like wicked social commentary, you will also like this movie. It is also nice to see Demi Moore in a role that requires her to act, with David Duchovny doing his thing. The whole concept is really well though of.It's not a perfect movie by all means of course, but I personally liked the humor in it (even if understated). Try not to read too much about the actual story though (as I stated above) and watch it with a free mind, to get the full effect of the movie
