Continuity mistake: Right before everybody jumps out the window of the hotel room hallway after meeting with the Scorpion, Tim kicks a briefcase down the hotel hallway. When the briefcase stops, the latches are facing the camera. Next time we see the case the Scorpion is coming down the same hallway towards it, however the case is turned around and latches are facing him, not the camera.

5.5/10.I wouldn't call this a good movie nor a decent one.It's okay at best due to it mocking the supposedly great Mr And Mrs Smith.I find it amusingly bad with hints it's trying.Gal Gadot does actually try here despite being one of the more recently over exposed actresses with an acting range of bland.Despite being with Cohen,Isla Fisher's pretty okay.I found the best scene the dressing room scene,sole purpose to show off Gadot in skimpy underwear.I didn't care for the subtle jabs at suburban middle class couples as well as not so subtle gripes about Abu Ghraib.Let's face it,some people don't deserve to be treated decently,not when they attack our country or other democratic ones.I could've lived without this Hollywood gripe.Heck it would've been a lot better if it were about a suburban couple helping a married couple of ex spies adjust to normal life.Still it's an okay watch despite being a bad movie.Yes, I watched and laughed,but only at how lame it seemed to be,especially at Gadot,whose days are numbered.Once Blunder Woman's done,she can look forward to doing more clunkers like this unless she can sing okay like that one trick pony Lynda Carter.It's one of those that tried harder than what it should've and that only adds to how really "so bad it's good to watch and laugh at"it turns out to be.Still,all this said,it's a heck of a lot better than the Pitts movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

Trivia: "Keeping Up with the Joneses" was originally meant to be a sequel to the film "Mr. And Mrs. Smith," with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie both intended to return. However, Pitt and Jolie were dissatisfied with the screenplay and dropped out. Eventually, all connections to that film were dropped and the movie was retooled to be a stand-alone film.

Answer: It was definitely meant to be a sexy scene, but it isn't pointless. The two were genuinely bonding during that scene and the gradual friendship built between the couples forms a major part of the plot. The sexiness between them also sets up the scene later in the film where the two kiss and Karen discretely passes a knife to Natalie. As an aside, Karen isn't played by Amy Adams, she is played by Isla Fisher. Amy Adams and Isla Fisher share a striking resemblance and are constantly mistaken for one another.
