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.

Jude Dry

IndieWire

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.

Rated: B

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

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.

Jonathan Romney

Observer (UK)

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

Rated: 1/5

Dopey but fairly entertaining.

Film Frenzy

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

Rated: 2.5/4

I can’t believe this movie doesn’t have a higher rating! It is adorable ! It’s kind of like a romantic comedy version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. John Hamm and Gal Gadot are fantastic. If you want to watch a lighthearted movie with beautiful people and fun action sequences, do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Not deserving of all the critical hate. This movie is basically what I hoped it would be... a tired premise, but fun and well-paced with a very watchable cast.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

If you’re looking for a fun chill action movie with some excellent actors. This is worth a watch. Don’t take yourself too seriously going into it though.
