The Joneses is a dark comedy set in present day upscale suburbia.  Demi Moore and David Duchovny star as ambitious sales executives who basically go “undercover” as a married couple with two teens in an effort to sell the neighborhood on their range of products.  It doesn’t take long before the neighbors are envious of this sexy couple and aspire to have all that they have.  Lauren Hutton comes in as their boss, concerned with sales figures and conversion rates.  The teens have their own sales goals to meet, and life often collides with their true intentions.  When tragedy strikes, one of the team has a crisis of conscience.  Thought provoking, conversation provoking movie with many layers.  Well done.
