Ranking October 2016's Movies - From Worst To Best
16. Keeping Up With The Joneses
RottenTomatoes Score: 21% (4.4/10)
Box Office: The $40 million comedy action flick opened below already low expectations, finishing at 7th place in its opening weekend, and to date failing to make even half its budget back. Dead on arrival, then.
Verdict: Enormously talented director Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) is basically a gun-for-hire here in this incredibly charmless, glorified made-for-Netflix movie that wastes the considerable skills of Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher, Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot.
The humour mostly falls flat, the plot feels like a crap sitcom, and the cast will likely be glad in retrospect that so few people actually came out to see it. Rancid studio comedy at its recent worst.
