Review: 

Will Eno’s The Realistic Joneses, directed by Sam Gold, struck me as the lowest level of sophomoric sitcom aimed at an I.Q. of about 60, who might, out of laugh-track habit, laugh when the actors hit a punch line – or don’t.

A middle-aged couple is on the stage: Tracy Letts and Toni Collette. Two younger ninnies arrive: Michael C. Hall and Marisa Tomei. There is a quest for medical treatment in the vicinity. There is interaction with innuendos. Non-profound, occasionally clever thoughts are expressed. Letts growls, Tomei and Collette are attractive, believable, and quite good-looking, Hall is okay. If shallow sitcoms are your cup of humor, have fun.
