The Joneses

They're not just living the American dream, they're selling it.

A sly look at commercial marketing and the sheeple that support our modern lifestyles. Meet the Joneses, by all appearances a modern, hip, successful family with the latest and greatest of everything. The neighbours just can't keep up. However, all is not as it seems ... they not a family, they're marketers, doing viral marketing for their corporate sponsors. When dad starts to develop a conscience about what they are doing, and teenage hormones get out of control, things could come crashing down ...
