May 1.This unique look at consumerism and family was good, but not great. "The Joneses" starts as the perfect family, lead by Demi Moore and David Duchovny, move into the perfect house, on the perfect street in Anytown, USA. The characters, who are not actually a family, market products and themselves to people in this wealthy (to me) neighborhood.
There are some funny scenes, mostly involving Duchovny, and the premise is so interesting that I was on board for most of the movie. But, by the last act the messages of what's important in life sort of steam rolled over anything good leading up to the conclusion.
