| KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES movie poster |
About 2 weeks ago the Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe went to see the comedy movie, "Keeping Up With The Joneses".
The premise of the story is that Jeff and Karen live on a quite cul-de-sac who know their neighbors and often block parties are the norm. Jeff is the HR Director at the local aerospace company and Karen is an interior decorator who works from home But then their quite suburban lives are turned upside down when the vacant house is sold. The new neighbors are Tim and Natalie Jones who it appear to be the perfect couple. He is ruggedly handsome and she is model beautiful. Tim is an accomplished travel writer, with glass blowing as his hobby. Natalie is a social media consultant, cooking blogger and raises money for a Sri Lankan orphanage. But all is not what it seems for the Joneses. Karen is suspicious and starts following Natalie. When the Joneses go out for the evening, Karen and Jeff break into their neighbor's house and are taken back by what they see - lots of high tech surveillance equipment. Tim discovers what they have done and soon the Gaffney's are caught up in the middle of an international spy ring.
So Dear Readers, what happens to the Gaffneys and the Joneses? Do they have a scary encounter with spies and terrorists? And just like the old song, "How Do You Keep Them Down On The Farm After They've Seen Paree?"......how do you keep the Gaffney's down in the cul-de-sac after they have had a taste of a new and exciting life style?
You will just have to see the movie and find out for yourself.
The Travelling Toe must admit that there was a small concern about the show as Zach Galifianakis stars in it and he has been pretty raw in his past movies. But this time no. In fact the "F" word was only used one time and it was not him!! WOW!!
