Wick's Review

Created Sep 29, 2010 05:38AM PST • Edited Jul 31, 2020 01:13AM PST

  1. Quality
  2. Pretty Bad 1.5

    A hypocritical indictment of conspicuous consumption, this bargain-basement satire never strikes beyond the obvious. Nominally attempting to bury the cult of brands, The Joneses instead praises them – name dropping and extolling cars, fragrances, golf clubs and all the effluvia touted in the ad pages of the New York Times Magazine. To be so gauche is understandable. To be so boring, inexcusable.

  3. OK 2.5
  4. Male Stars Good 3.0
  5. Female Stars OK 2.5
  6. Female Costars OK 2.5
  7. Male Costars Good 3.0

  15. Sex Erotic 2.6
  16. Violence Fierce 1.6
  17. Rudeness Salty 1.6
  18. Glib 1.4

    The story is predicated on the precise tracking of purchases by acquaintances of a fake family. How dey do dat? Dey don’t.

  19. Circumstantial Surreal 2.1
  20. Biological Natural 1.0
  21. Physical Natural 1.0
