Film Review: Keeping Up with the Joneses
Genre: Action, Comedy
Cert: 12A
Story: A suburban couple becomes embroiled in an international espionage plot when they discover that their seemingly perfect new neighbors are government spies.
Likes : I watched this film because im a big fan of isla fisher plus i think she is gorgeous , she is not shy in showing off her sex body in lingerie & she look's hot. This film was ok to watch although it does have one problem which i will explain in the dislikes , this is a typical film that is kind of save by the casting performance as it a entertaining film but fails to deliver when it met to be.
Isla fisher very beautiful actress play the usual quirky self when it comes to comedy's which works for her because you just enjoyable to watch on screen as she come off as the sweet wife that want an exciting life but doesn't know how to do it. You have her co-star Zach Galifianakis who seem to be stereo type in comedy as the dorky husband that a great listener that clear got the best girl in life he comes across a little funny in this film at time, but the film just seem to lack something.
Jon Hamm & Gal Gadot come off brilliant as the joneses playing the seemly harmless suburban couple that just move in to the neighbor until they show who they really are the action kicks off as Isla & Zach characters get involved the bullets are flying left right & center. Clearly what stand out more is Gal Gadot in sexy black lingerie which if im honest was actually hot.
The base of the film is good & very entertaining , the acting is sold it does save the film is someway, i think without this cast this film might of actually failed to deliver, but the whole spies concept worked for the film which made it entertaining.
Dislikes : This is where this film went wrong....it doesn't know if it a seriously or a comedy film, the director has tried to mix the two concept its hasn't come off right on screen. The action is good but the comedy side just didn't have the laugh out loud moments to make this film funny, the jokes & comedy moments kind of fell flat when the audience isn't laughing you know you failed the comedy side of the film.
This film try's to hard to be both comedy & action sadly this time despite the performance which actually saved the film, the comedy side of the film failed.
Overall : Good for the entertainment value , but sadly lose it identity when it comes mixing theme.

Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: Sexual humor is featured in the film. Sexual innuendos, crude hand gestures and sexual imagery are also depicted, but are mild and infrequent.
The film contains some sexual references, including a scene depicting the protagonists, a married couple, who are imagining that they are having a wild time, where they are seen kissing passionately, drinking and eventually snuggling under a blanket where both are implied to be naked. However, the scene ends abruptly and the couple is brought back to reality.
In another scene, the female protagonist is seen dry-humping her husband briefly in a drugged state after she was accidentally struck by a tranquilizer dart.
In addition, there are also some verbal sexual references when a woman asks her neighbor about her sex life
Violence & Gore: There are some scenes of violence featured in the film, mostly involving car chases and gunfights.
In one of the stronger scenes, a man is shot in the head and brief blood spurting is seen.
In another scene, a woman throws a knife, hitting a thug in the throat but no details are depicted.
Profanity: The expletive "f***" is featured, but used infrequently.
The film contains a single utterance of the expletive "f***", as well as some mild language such as the terms "damnit", "hell", and "bullshit".
This would make the film suitable for a teen audience.
