IndieWire
The most surprising thing about Keeping Up with the Joneses isn’t that it’s actually funny, but that some touching unlikely friendships emerge amidst the outrageous action sequences. - 60
Variety
An amiable time-killer of an espionage comedy. - 50
We Got This Covered
Keeping Up With The Jonses plays everything so disappointingly safe. - 40
Empire
An unfortunate misfire that has the odd moment of charm and the odder chuckle, but otherwise isn’t worth keeping up with. - 40
Screen Daily
Keeping Up with the Joneses may have twice the talent of other outings in the spy-couple sub-genre...but its laugh quotient is pretty low. And that’s a real problem for a romantic action comedy that’s always going more for humour, with a touch of sweet-natured romance, than thrills. - 38
The Seattle Times
There’s no problem keeping up with these Joneses. The audience is way ahead of them every step of the way. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Stale as week-old bread and every bit as bland, the movie saddles a strong cast with a groaningly ineffectual script (courtesy of Michael LeSieur, who wrote 2006’s You, Me and Dupree) and wastes the director’s gift for bringing lived-in charm and feeling to broad comic premises. - 25
Tampa Bay Times
Keeping Up With the Joneses is the sort of strenuous comedy giving zany a bad name.
