WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Jeff (Galifianakis) and Karen (Fisher) are an ordinary suburban couple who find it hard to compete with their impossibly perfect neighbours, Tim (Hamm) and Natalie Jones (Gadot). Things escalate, however, when they find out that the Joneses are actually covert secret agents working for the government…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A funny suburban comedy that takes a turn into espionage territory, Keeping Up With The Joneses puts a talented comedic cast into a humorous situation and gives them enough material to work with for an hour and a half.
