Recently watched The Joneses again on DVD (we caught it when it was out at the cinema). Bearing in mind my dissertation was on consumerism, I think this film is a really interesting, timely social commentary on the shallowness of consumerist interaction - and how people are (perhaps) crying out for a deeper connection with one another. It’s also a prophetic warning - asking the question, just how far should you go in order to market your products effectively?

Ok, so the plot is slightly Hollywood, but still worth watching.
