Keeping Up With the Joneses review – the Mad Man next door

A pair of staid suburbanites find their dull life stirred by the arrival of impossibly glamorous neighbours. It’s as if Don Draper and Wonder Woman moved in next door – and, indeed, they’re played by Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot. The treatment for this action spoof could have been written on the back of a matchbox – of a single match, even. Galifianakis and Fisher have fun being flustered, Gadot plays it wryly self-mocking, and Hamm alternates between his patented wolfish grin and a frown that can only be called the “is-there-really-life-after-Mad Men?” look.
