Keeping Up With The Joneses (2. There is a point in the newest comedy from director Greg Mottola where it seems all hope might be lost for this broad comedy to rise above the grind it seemed so destined to follow, but it only ends up being a brief moment of wackiness that Mottola and crew don't care to dedicate themselves to carrying out. Rather, Keeping Up With the Joneses continues its stride toward the mediocre with very little to serve as surprising or inspired despite being made by the guy who put together Superbad and Adventureland. Yes, Mottola, the man who directed the likes of one of the great high school comedies of the last fifteen years as well as tapping into the struggles of that weird time post- college where you're not sure where to go from that point has made a movie for the first time in five years that in fact couldn't feel more uninspired. My hope, when I saw that Mottola was directing, was that the trailers and TV spots for the film might intentionally be setting our expectation bar low so that when we finally saw the finished product we might be taken with how much better it actually is than we expected.

Unfortunately, all we have here is a wacky situational comedy that too often relies on lead Zach Galifianakis' one- liners too lift it from the doldrums of the generic jokes and obvious pratfalls Michael Le. Sieur's screenplay is built on. Le. Sieur (You, Me & Dupree) seems the type of comedy writer who comes up with an interesting or funny enough scenario and then applies it to a familiar structure making the final product more predictable than laugh- inducing. That said, Keeping Up With the Joneses is about as good (and bad) as one would expect given the terrible trailers. It's familiar and overly safe, but the fun performances from each of the four leads lend it a spring in its step that otherwise would have left this thing dead on arrival. The Joneses (2. 00. IMDb.
