The Joneses move into an upper-class suburb with the newest gadgets and the best style. Kate (Demi Moore) and Steve (David Duchovny) seem like a perfect couple but they don't have any chemistry in private. Mick (Ben Hollingsworth) is hiding his homosexuality. Jenn (Amber Heard) is slutty and tries to sleep with Steve. They are actually professional salespeople promoting their products. KC (Lauren Hutton) is their boss. Their neighbors Larry (Gary Cole) and Summer Symonds (Glenne Headly) start racking up debts to keep up with the Joneses.
This is an intriguing concept but there is a decreasing return. The idea gets repetitive. The family members' personal drama is more compelling. Mick's relationship with Naomi could be interesting but his gay character can't have the easier romantic drama. It doesn't get the comedy but some of the drama works.
