Jul 6, 2010
A decade on from his sublime white collar wage-slave comedy Office Space, director Mike Judge returns to the workplace for this gentle satire.
Apr 26, 2010
There is a lot of unconvincing, random plot, most characters are deeply unsympathetic and the women are poorly served by underdeveloped roles.
Apr 26, 2010
Has many promising ingredients, yet somehow none of them quite gel.
Apr 23, 2010
The film is never funny enough, and comes across as dispiritingly mean.
Apr 23, 2010
Aside from being not all that funny, Judge's droll-ish observations on the small-mindedness of corporate America never hit the mark while there are too many go-nowhere plot diversions.
Apr 23, 2010
Judge knows his game well enough, but too often the jokes feel like seasoning to a premise that is just slightly overdone.
Apr 23, 2010
Extract is the kind of economical comedy that's more about sly grins of acknowledgments and quiet chuckles than rolling in the aisles laughter.
Apr 22, 2010
A bemusing black comedy that is as unfocused as it is unbelievable.
Apr 22, 2010
Bateman is perfectly cast as the understated lead and Kunis works well as divisive eye candy, but it’s the supporting actors who really shine.
Apr 22, 2010
Mike Judge's latest comedy is never exactly laugh-out-loud funny but it's very enjoyable nonetheless, thanks to strong comic performances and a drily witty script.
Apr 22, 2010
Mixing absurd comedy with understated dialog, Mike Judge spins an amiable farce about marriage and work ethics
Apr 4, 2010
Judge really feels for these losers, making this shaggy, unfocused fun.
Mar 25, 2010
Judge's latest doesn't linger long in the memory, generating more gentle chuckles than outand- out belly laughs. But it goes down smoothly enough...
