The Gaffneys' lives are interrupted by the arrival of new neighbors, whose stunning looks are matched only by the worldly sophistication of their lives. Tim Jones is an accomplished travel writer whose hobbies include blowing glass, and his wife, Natalie, is a social media consultant, cooking blogger and heroine to Sri Lankan orphans. The Gaffneys soon find themselves in the center of a storm of international espionage that gives them a breathtaking glimpse of life outside their cul-de-sac.

Critics Consensus

Keeping Up with the Joneses squanders a decent premise -- and a talented cast full of funny people -- on a witless and largely laugh-free suburban spy adventure.

Viewers who can't get enough of Galifianakis or Hamm will enjoy seeing the two spar onscreen, delivering in spades the unexpected phrasing and smoldering smirks each actor does so well.

The script sets up the action part of the movie with an interminably laborious and close-fitting literalness that hardly lets any of the actors breathe.

The treatment for this action spoof could have been written on the back of a matchbox - of a single match, even.

A picture graced with four bright performances but hampered by a plot that felt recycled even back when Millard Fillmore was president.

The cast is great, and the ladies are lovely, but Zach Galifianakis turns in perhaps his least funny film to date.

Keeping Up With the Joneses is a pretty standard but funny action comedy with a great cast, and plenty of action and explosions.
