The Joneses (2009)

okay so this weekend I saw a few more movies, this was one of those, The Joneses with David Duchovny and Demi Moore.

It's a story about the perfect family living the perfect way of life, with the perfect house, cars, cloths, gadgets...they are the envy of the neighborhood. It turns out they are not a family, they are there to sale their life style. It's a commentary on our consumerist society, where you must have the lasted version of everything to be popular or recognized.

I like the movie, it's the typical story: a fake family, four strangers acting as a team, and at the end feelings emerge, bonds are tied and the four strangers are not longer that, they become a family.

I have to say the ending is not that great, it's too disguised. There's the big scene, the 'lets give this a shot' but the resolution is too quiet... I was expecting something bigger or at least more visible than a car in the middle of the night.

Overall I liked it but was expecting a bit more at the end.
