在小镇居民的心目中,由史蒂夫(大卫·杜楚尼 David Duchovny 饰)和凯特(黛咪·摩尔 Demi Moore 饰)组成的琼斯家堪称模范家庭的典范。史蒂夫温文尔雅,做着一份收入颇丰的工作,却还有足够的时间来满足自己的兴趣;凯特漂亮端庄,无论是穿着还是行为,无疑都引领着整个小镇的时尚。每个人都希望能够成为琼斯先生和琼斯太太,每个人又都绝望的发现,无论自己如何的向他们靠拢,都永远无法赶上他们奔向幸福的脚步。 然而,对于史蒂夫和凯特来说,生活又是另一番模样,关于这个家庭的秘密让两人永远都无法心安理得的享受生活的美好,同时,充沛的物质条件无法弥补情感上的苍白裂缝,这个外人眼中的模范家庭已然濒临崩溃。"The Joneses", a social commentary on our consumerist society. Perfect couple Steve and Kate Jones, and their gorgeous teen-aged children Jenn and Mick, are the envy of their posh, suburban neighborhood filled with McMansions and all the trappings of the upper middle class. Kate is the ultimate trend setter - beautiful, sexy, dressed head-to-toe in designer labels. Steve is the admired successful businessman who has it all: a gorgeous wife, big house and an endless supply of high-tech toys. Jenn and Mick rule their new school as they embody all that is hip and trendy - cool clothes, fast cars and the latest gadgets. But as the neighbors try to keep up with the Joneses, none are prepared for the truth about this all- too perfect family.
