Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Joneses’ Has Charming Cast, Clever Premise
Submitted by BrianTT on August 18, 2010 - 9:42pmCHICAGO – A well-cast comedy and a clever concept can help make screenwriting speed bumps much more tolerable. Take “The Joneses,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD. It has an undeniably interesting set-up and a very likable cast and those facts alone make it worth a rental. It’s disappointingly tooth-less and somewhat predictable, but the film’s flaws are easy to overlook.
