KEEPING UP WITH
THE JONESES
FOX / OCT. 21
n Before Tom Hanks became two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks, he
starred in the 1989 cult classic The ’Burbs. Hanks and Carrie Fisher
played a suburban couple who, along with neighbors Bruce Dern
and the late Rick Ducommun, suspect that the new neighbors in the
cul-de-sac are up to no good. They are. Nearly 30 years later, Superbad
director Greg Mottola revisits that basic premise in Keeping Up with
the Joneses. Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher play the Gaffneys, a normal
suburban couple with normal suburban problems (they have sex
quickly in case the kids walk in). Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot also play
a normal suburban couple—normal except that they are two of
the best-looking people on the planet. They also turn out to be international
spies, and the Gaffneys become embroiled, entangled, and
otherwise ensnared in the duo’s adventures.
