The Joneses
Heard plays Jenn Jones, a seemingly ideal teenage daughter, in this satirical comedy written and directed by Derrick Borte. Jenn is part of a four person marketing team posing as a perfect family, and their idyllic suburban life is actually a marketing campaign aimed at the surrounding upscale community. Jenn flirts with a neighborhood dad till she realizes it is she who’s being used and not the other way around. Co-starring David Duchovny, Demi Moore, and Ben Hollingsworth.
Jenn is a very conflicted girl. She’s tortured and she comes across as somebody who thinks she’s an adult, thinks she’s ready for adult relationships and puts on a front. But she’s alone and she has an attitude that makes her snappy and cheeky and aggressive, and, like most young women, she has a deep-seated vulnerability.
