“Keeping up with the Joneses” is an entertaining, lightweight spy movie. It may be too lightweight for those with affection for great action flicks. But it is lighthearted fun for anyone with a sense of humor about Suburbia and therapeutic intervention.
 
Jeff and Karen Gaffney (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher) are fairly ordinary, upper middle class parents living on a cul de sac. Their boys go off to camp for the summer, allowing us to get to know Jeff and Karen as individuals and a couple.
