I attended the Premiere of "The Joneses" at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival. The directorial debut of Derrick Borte (who also wrote and produced), this was a big disappointment. David Duchovny and Demi Moore settle down in a typical suburban home with their atypical suburban family. The premise is terrific -- things are not what they seem. But the comedic payoff just isn't there. The film is fairly slow and predictable for the first two and a half acts and the gags come too far apart. Long waits for a few laughs just don't cut it for what is supposed to be a raucous comedy. The latter half of the last act was excellent and full of surprises, though, which redeemed the movie somewhat. Production values are excellent with bright art direction and lighthearted score masking the mystery underneath. Despite its flaws, I give it a 3/5 for acting. There's no denying that Duchovny and Moore are magical together. Amber Heard is always a joy to watch.
