Here’s The First Trailer For KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES (Or: GALIFIANAKIS V HAMM)

That's not Jon Hamm, by the way. That's Isla Fisher. I couldn't screencap a good two-shot of Hamm and Galifianakis from the trailer. Sorry.

The first trailer for this October's Keeping Up With The Joneses has arrived.

According to Empire Online:

Zach Galifianakis...and Isla Fisher play a typical ordinary suburban couple who find themselves struggling to keep up with the Joneses, played in this particular case by Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot. The struggle becomes ever more real when it turns out that Mr & Mrs Jones are spies, embroiling the peaceful suburbs in action and espionage. 

Galifianakis versus Hamm? Oh, I'm definitely onboard with that. Let's take a look. 

Hm. OK. Well...that doesn't look very good, does it?

Perhaps it's just a broad, obvious (read: bad and hopefully misrepresentative) trailer? Given the talent involved, I'm inclined to give this one the benefit of the doubt. In addition to a very funny cast (side note: I'm so, so happy to see Jon Hamm doing more comedy), Keeping Up With The Joneses has Superbad's Greg Motolla in the director's chair. All of that is very encouraging. That trailer, though...

We'll know how this shakes out later this year: Keeping Up With The Joneses arrives on October 21st.
