Extract demeure une comédie somme toute agréable, mais dont le manque d'audace se fait vite sentir.

Judge is dealing with his usual subject, the paranoia and indifference of class warfare. How do you keep your front lawn and your pool clean while trying not to look too elitist and well-off?

Judge probably wrote Extract on the back of a pizza box, but it's funnier and truer to life as it is actually lived than anything Judd Apatow ever did.

It doesn't seem as fresh as Office Space or likely to achieve the same sort of iconic status, but there are enough laughs here to justify the time.

The basic material is here for a good film, but it doesn't quite achieve that threshold. Fortunately, the film has some interesting characters.

It seems that Judge is a little embarrassed by his script, which he shouldn't be. His direction of the movie, however, doesn't match the absurdity of the situations Joel finds himself in.

mocks idiots, hypocrites, and all the other clueless denizens of life who make it difficult for everyone else, but the bile is balanced with affection for the ordinary people who make the world turn

As with virtually all of Judge's work, Extract is based on the idea that most people are total, blithering idiots. It's all very off-beat, but a top-flight comedic cast makes it work

Despite the huge farcical situations and comedy genius cast, Extract is not so much riproarious as thoughtful and true %u2013 not unlike Judge's animated series King of the Hill

Smart and affable, but not laugh-out-loud funny. A comedy shouldn't be as grounded as this. Since it's coming from Mike Judge, you expect it to fly.

It's a raunchy social commentary that will undoubtedly do even better when it's released on video, thereby repeating the pattern of 'Office Space.'

Could not survive the bland dialogue and what a misuse of Kristen Wiig.

A quietly subversive, sometimes delicious, little comedy.

Perhaps because of the increased influence that comes with greater celebrity, Judge now seems to sympathize with management instead of labor, a shift in perspective that may prevent this movie from achieving the cult status of 'Office Space.'

A perfect late-summer tonic... a genial prod at the great problem facing comfortable people in late-stage capitalism.
