![]() If you’re not recycling now, it’s time to begin. Most people here and across Wales already recycle – now’s the time for you to join them. ![]() You can avoid a Fixed Penalty Notice by recycling. We are urging those that don’t recycle not to wait for a warning letter, but to get started straight away. We are continuing to monitor areas in relation to the “Keeping up with the Joneses” campaign, to ensure that the Authority’s Residents are maximising their opportunities to recycle wherever possible. Join your neighbours in doing this for your community. We don’t want to issue Fixed Penalty Notices, but it’s not fair on the community as a whole if some households fail to recycle. Its story follows a suburban couple (Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher) who begin to suspect their new neighbors (Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot) are secret agents. If a Resident fails to pay the fixed penalty fine of £100, further legal action through the Magistrates Court will be taken, where a more significant fine may be imposed against the Resident. Keeping Up with the Joneses is a 2016 American action comedy film directed by Greg Mottola and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Households that don’t start recycling and continue to place recyclable items into their black bins and bags could face a Fixed Penalty Fine of £100. The aim of the campaign is to target the small minority of people who don’t recycle at all or who recycle very little. Keeping up with the Joneses is a campaign to ensure that every household in Blaenau Gwent recycles. But (as is often the case in his big screen appearances) he’s too reined in by the family-friendly context – the film goes out with a PG-13 rating in the US – to be really effective and spark the film into life.Do you recycle? If not, let us help you get started or you may face a Fixed Penalty of £100. ![]() The script by Michael LeSieur ( You, Me, and Dupree) provides very little for the cast to build on and even with comedy dab hand Greg Mottola ( Superbad and Adventureland) directing the film often feels flat when it should be light-footed.ĭoing a variation on his familiar deadpan act, Galifianakis produces most of the mildly funny moments as the clueless yet well meaning Jeff. All that’s left after that is for the two couples to exchange the obligatory life lessons about the value of sincerity and the need to be open to adventure. Scenes with Patton Oswalt (from TV’s Veep) as an insecure villain called Bruce Springstein (pronounced ‘Spring-stine’) mostly misfire, and the action finale delivers little in the way of thrills. Once the mystery is solved and the two couples join forces, however, the film seems to lose direction. The action follows the Gaffneys’ attempts first to befriend the Joneses – Jeff and Tim’s bromantic date in a dodgy Chinese restaurant is a fun sequence – and then to uncover their real identities as covert operatives for the CIA. Hamm (in his first significant big screen role since the end of Mad Men) and Gadot (introduced as the new Wonder Woman in this year’s Batman v Superman) are the Gaffney’s sophisticated, gorgeous and mysterious new cul-de-sac neighbours Tim and Natalie Jones. Galifianakis (most recently seen in Masterminds) and Fisher (from the upcoming Nocturnal Animals) anchor the story as Jeff and Karen Gaffney, a cosy, slightly bored suburban couple trying to adjust to their first summer without the kids at home. Without the global star power of spy romps like Brangelina’s Mr & Mrs Smith and Cruise-Cameron’s Knight and Day, however, getting attention at the box office won’t be an easy mission. Originally set for a spring launch that might have better suited its undemanding tone, the Fox release arrives in the US and the UK on October 21, as counter programming to pre-Halloween horror and early award season contenders. Once the mystery is solved and the two couples join forces, however, the film seems to lose direction And that’s a real problem for a romantic action comedy that’s always going more for humour, with a touch of sweet-natured romance, than thrills. ![]() ![]() Keeping Up with the Jonses may have twice the talent of other outings in the spy-couple sub-genre – Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot play the husband-and-wife spooks, Zach Galifianakis and Isla Fisher their bumbling foils – but its laugh quotient is pretty low. ![]()
