Multi-talented Isla Fisher, noted for her roles in \u201cConfessions of a Shopaholic\u201d, \u201cNow You See Me\u201d and \u201cThe Wedding Crashers\u201d \u00a0will next be seen in the high-octane action-comedy \u201cKeeping Up with the Joneses\u201d which also stars Gal Gadot, Zach Galifianakis and Jon Hamm.<\/p>\n
Directed by Greg Mottola, one of comedy\u2019s most popular directors in recent times (\u201cSuperbad\u201d), his latest helmer \u201cKeeping Up with the Joneses\u201d is about an ordinary suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis, Isla Fisher) who discovers it\u2019s not easy keeping up with their impossibly gorgeous and ultra-sophisticated new neighbors, the Joneses (Jon Hamm, Gal Gadot)\u00a0 \u2013 especially when they discover that Mr. and Mrs. \u201cJones\u201d are really covert operatives.<\/p>\n
Fisher takes on the role of Karen Gaffney, blissfully married to Jeff (Galifianakis) on a quiet cul-de-sac neighbourhood.\u00a0 With their kids out on summer camp, Karen clicks away time by redesigning bathrooms and waiting on Jeff to come home from work…until the Joneses moved in.\u00a0 Upon meeting the gorgeous couple, Tim (Hamm) and Natalie (Gadot) Jones, Jeff and Karen instantly bonded with the Joneses.\u00a0 But after noticing that the Joneses\u2019 lives are somehow too perfect, Karen pushes Jeff to investigate further by crashing into the couple\u2019s house. It turns out that Karen is right\u2026about the Joneses. Ultimately, they become a happier and more fulfilled couple, thanks to their misadventures with the covert duo.<\/p>\n
Despite Karen\u2019s initial misgivings, Jeff sees in Tim the coolest best friend he could only dream of having \u2013 while Karen, too, is soon seduced in Natalie\u2019s glamorous and sexy approach to suburban life.\u00a0\u00a0 But as soon as the friendship seems to be cemented, The Gaffneys find themselves in the center of a storm of international espionage that will give them a breathtaking glimpse of life \u201coutside the cul de sac\u201d —\u00a0 and will show both couples what \u201cbeing a good neighbor\u201d really means.<\/p>\n
Isla Fisher explains:\u00a0 \u201cThe Gaffneys need to get in touch with one another, romantically and emotionally.\u00a0 They eventually get there, but in the craziest kind of ways.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The actress further notes that she embraced the story\u2019s premise because \u201cthere\u2019s so much comedy inherent in a suburban couple with their noses pressed to the glass, envying their neighbors\u2019 glamorous lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things getting in the couple\u2019s way is Karen\u2019s obsession with the Joneses; she\u2019s convinced there\u2019s something \u2026off\u2026about them.\u00a0 Why would people who look, act and dress like they do move to their neighborhood, she wonders.\u00a0 It\u2019s a way for Karen to avoid looking at herself or the marriage, or consider what she and Jeff could be doing to make things better now that the kids are away,\u201d director Mottola shares.<\/p>\n
While comedy gold is mined from the chasm separating the two couples\u2019 lifestyles, demeanor and professions, there is indeed an important commonality between the two pairings: the Gaffneys eventually learn that the picture-perfect Joneses share the same kinds of problems endemic to their union\u2014and to virtually all marriages.<\/p>\n
