The Joneses

Lie down in a darkened room, quickly!

Saw this Friday night. I liked it a lot but I get hung up on things like how in the world do they track each "family" members sales? I would have liked some sort of explanation on this as that would provide a better understanding of their motivations. I also felt that Demi Moore's character wasn't developed enough. I felt like she suddenly just had a change of heart without there being any real transition to that point.

It was unique and I like the message and yes, Gary Cole is probably one of the most underrated supporting actors out there. So I'd recommend it and give it 7.5/10.

I saw this at the Metrocentre Odeon on Wednesday afternoon. I enjoyed it tremendously. The unfolding story of the Joneses is brilliantly portrayed by the two main leads Moore and Duchovny. There is an excellent chemistry between them and some great supporting performances from the other members of the Jones family and their neighbours.

It’s a clever and thought provoking story set in luxurious and visually stunning materialistic surroundings, which will surprise and delight.

A word of warning! - If you can, do avoid watching any trailers or reading reviews (including those in this thread) before you see it, because seeing these will take away a major element of surprise for you.

I give it 8.5 out of 10.

Saw this on Saturday. Had to p*y, but at least I got the senior rate - 2nd time I'd expected to be challenged about that but wasn't - maybe it's time for another face lift! I liked the film but agree that it had a cop-out Hollywood happy ending, so I'm deducting half a point for that. 7.5/10 from me.
