Its fun seeing rich famlies being fleeced 😊

Warning: Spoilers
David & Demi play there rolls well together. The Start does a good job trying to convince you its a normal family. Having the daughter jump in with the dad is fun because you watched the trailers but if not its a real shock. The daughter and son then going for non conventional partners adds more twists. The neighbors final act is totally believable.

Yes, keeping up with Jones's is a dirty business and this tried to expose some of the manipulation. It was fun seeing all the rich idiots fall for it all, as well as there children wanting the latest everything.

These kinds of attitudes will cause climate change to be irreversible so its nice to see the flip side of the coin and the damage consumerism does to people.

My only gripe is the Audi R8 being left at home while Mum & Dad go to a dinner together leaving the kids to have a house party. A normal rich dad would take the R8 to dinner, not leave it at home. Its needed at home for the next two plot twists.

Overall the movie was fun, even just to see the rich guys being fleeced.
