**Curiosity led them to involve in a greater danger.** It was the other Zack Galifianakis film that I watched back to back. 'Mastermind' was a fun crime film based on the true event, but this one was purely fictional action-comedy. Once again the casting looked so good. Particularly Gal Gadot, her involving in it after becoming Wonder Woman is a hype. So anyone to anticipating some great action sequences is normal, but it was average on that section. First of all, it is nothing to do with the 2009 film 'The Jonese'. The characters seem quite resembling, like between and about the neighbors, but totally different plot. When a new couple move into a vacant house, the one in the neighborhood suspect there's something going with them. After all the efforts, when they come to know the couple's true identity, they're already involved in their undertaking and now cooperating is the only way out. So how it ends with their entanglement takes the film to its final stage. Comedy scenes were good. Not that much clichéd, so one can have a decent fun watching it, especially with a low expectation. Both the lead women were hot, despite not much cleavage in the film. There are some unexpected parts too, but as a comedy, it was much better. And as an action & spy film, it doesn't do much to impress. Overall, a passable film, particularly comedy wise. So if you prefer it, then it should be on that merit. _6/10_

**Keeping Up with the Joneses isn't bad, but isn't anything to get excited about either.** The cast of this film drew me to this movie. Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot as spies was an excellent decision. Not to mention, Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher are hilarious in any movie. But somehow, even with the directing of an experienced comedy director, Keeping Up with the Joneses couldn't impress. There were some funny parts, but the movie overall was predictable, unimaginative, and at times just plain annoying. That might be a little harsh, but the quality of star power keeps the movie from slipping entirely into disappointment, but overall, Keeping Up with the Joneses is a forgettable comedy with a spy twist.
