Extract (2009)Directed by Mike Judge, rated R, 92 minutes
Extract is an understated and witty comedy about the owner of an extract plant whose life starts to spiral out of control when he suspects his wife of cheating on him. Jason Bateman masterfully captures the frustrated everyman with his perfect comedic timing, and Ben Affleck has a small but laugh out loud funny role. The film has writer-director Mike Judge's distinct subtle comedy, but the story is never as absorbing as it could be. Extract doesn't quite live up to Mike Judge's previous films, but it has enough funny lines
and characters to make for a fun experience. You'll like it if: You like workplace comedies, deadpan humor, Jason Bateman, Office Space, A Serious Man or The Girl Next Door.
