Movie Reviews of Extract
Movie Review: Great Actors cant save bad writing.
Summary: 3 Stars
Casting for this movie was great, second to none. Great actors and actresses in leading and supporting roles. Liked almost everyone in it. The acting is good too, no complaints there. The only down, which is a pretty important one, is the writing. The movie just was not funny. I was surprised and disappointed since it was a Mike Judge film but the movie just seems to start off slow, and glide to a stop. Rent it, dont buy it.Movie Review: JASON BATEMAN SAVES THIS PREDICTABLE FILM!
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this film, but it just didn't make me laugh as much as I wanted it to. Jason Bateman is the saving grace in this film and he an under used and underrated actor. Gene Simmons has an amusing role as an ambulance chasing lawyer...yeah I know a real stretch for him!lol! This film has some funny moments, but never reaches past the obvious. It's certainly worth a look, but rent this before buying it.Movie Review: Pretty Good!!!
Summary: 3 Stars
I really didn't know what to expect when I saw this! There were a few funny parts, but nothing where you laugh out loud at. Joel Reynolds owns an extract company and falls in love with a beautiful con-artist named Cindy. While he is high, he tries to get a gigolo to sleep with his wife while he can have an affair with Cindy, but the plan backfires. I probably wouldn't recommend EXTRACT!!!Movie Review: What were they thinking?
Summary: 2 Stars
This is just so bad. I didn't think Mike Judge was capable of this after the brilliant Office Space. Bateman plays his role well, but he is surrounded by unfunny characters weighed down with unfunny dialogue. The storyline is quite forced, and nearly every scene is uncomfortably reaching...and not making it. Affleck has never been funny, just doesn't have the timing and vibe as a comedic actor. There isn't a single character in this film that measures up to the many fine portrayals in OS, least of all the masterful performance turned in by Gary Cole as the incredibly smarmy Bill Lumbergh. Even the best moment in the movie -- the sweatpants getting tied up -- isn't as good as it is in the trailer. I don't remember laughing during Extract, I only got a few mild chuckles out of it. Judge is obviously a gifted guy, I'm hoping this effort is the exception to the rule.Movie Review: Couldn't Even Finish
Summary: 1 Stars
I couldn't finish this movie.
Like the annoying neighbor who traps the main character in his driveway over and over again, I went into each scene wondering if anything was going to make me laugh.
Jason Bateman's character is nearly vacant enough for Paul Rudd to play. He owns a company and he doesn't get much from his wife...basically, he's a normal schmuck who isn't all that interesting. He employs bickering employees who aren't that interesting either. You would not want to hang with any of these people during or after work. Milas Kunis is a smokin' hot chick but she's such a despicable person, stealing and scamming from everyone in her path, that I hated her. So what that she's hot? Was her hotness supposed to offset what a terrible person she really is?
Ben Affleck plays a shaggy, stupid bartender who somehow tends bar in a Marriott or some upscale place--obviously a place that would never hire an unkempt moron like him.
There's a workplace plot that involves a character getting his privates mutilated and the impending lawsuit that could upset the sale of the company. Then there's a domestic plotline of a husband setting his wife up for adultery that has absolutely nothing to do with the workplace plotline...and none of this would matter if the film was remotely funny.
You'll see a lot of good reviews here but look for the key words, like "understated." That means that the movie is "not funny." "Subtle." "Not funny."
If I force myself to finish it and it does turn into a laugh riot, I will amend this review.
