...stealth marketer KC (Lauren Hutton) counsels her employee (David Duchovny) in “The Joneses.” In this commentary on modern American consumerism, director Derrick Borte explores the consequences of taking this advice to the limit.

Each one bright and opinionated, they straddle the line between embracing 1980s counter-culture, and respecting...
