Review of Extract

Extract is a decent movie with a reasonably well written storyline and a terrific comedic cast. It's a very enjoyable film in which most of its flaws are forgotten by the fact that it is simple fun, the cast all shine in their roles, with the likes of Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig and J.K. Simmons all starring, but the highlight for me had to be Ben Affleck, a huge star that I was very surprised to see playing a supporting role in a Mike Judge comedy, he is hilarious in all of his scenes and it is nothing like what we've seen before from him. The films biggest flaw is that it simply had more potential than it delivers, a comedy written and directed by Mike Judge, the mind that brought us King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-Head and Office Space, with a stellar comedic cast like this seemed like an easy success, but it simply dosen't live up to its expectations. A lot of the jokes are very lame, there's several scenes where the characters take drugs and it's funny fur a few minutes, but it just keeps going, I found Mila Kunis's role irritating, her dialogue with Bateman is very poorly written and her character didn't make me laugh once, there is a lot of well written jokes here, such as the scenes between Kristen Wiig and Dustin Milligan, but there's too many parts that are straight up dumb. Certainly has its moments but misses far too often, Extract is still worth the watch if you ever see it on television, but don't go out of your way to see it.

A hapless factory boss's life crumbles after a workplace accident and his own marriage is in trouble.

Best Performance: Ben Affleck
