January 19, 2012I know I'm in the minority, but this movie is very funny to me. Everything about Mike Judge's Extract is delightful. From the story, to the script, to the acting; everything about this movie is a clear example of the way that Judge can put his audiences in a world of pure escapis... read more

October 25, 2011fb576007796Classic Mike Judge. Ben Affleck is actually funny in this one. Worth a watch.

June 27, 2011This film could have been called "Widgets" or "Thumb Tacks" as the Extracts are merely a weak sub-plot for which this even weaker story is based.
Impressive cast + good director does not = good film.
Big disappointment. -
April 20, 2011I happen to like Mike Judge films. No, he's not Woody Allen, but his films are clever and enjoyable in their own way. "Extract" is a little like a Coen brothers film, maybe a "A Serious Man" or "Burn After Reading" (it's even got J.K. Simmons in it, for Pete's sake), but one th... read more

January 8, 2011Average acting & average laughs, this movie is only ok. Office Space is 150 times funnier than this movie.

October 19, 2010Sadly, this was a less funny, less engaging version of Office Space set in a factory. With this great cast and director, I had been hoping for another stroke of genius. Le sigh.

August 11, 2010Interesting and quirky. Fun but not anything exciting. Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis bring convincing portrayals; where as the rest of the cast is a little too over the top.
-
July 27, 2010Awful! This movie made me hate everything and everyone. It's an everything-goes-wrong kind of film, but not done in the funny Jewish way. Stiller, Allen and Seinfeld have perfected it. Judge fails. I did/do love Office Space though.
-
June 27, 2010My grade is probably a bit inflated, but it's hard to ignore my bias toward Mike Judge. He gets workplaces. He gets satire too, even if the stuff on display here is more blunt and low-key than it probably should be.
Although it is nowhere near the same level, this film had a ... read more -
May 3, 2010From the Mike Judge of King of the Hill and Office Space fame.Comes another office bound theme movie.I must say i was disappointed with it a little, was not a patch on office space in terms of comedy but this still has some good moments and Jason Bateman holds the whole movie tog... read more

There are so many good jokes packed in there. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
The entire cast, in fact, seems to be having fun, with Affleck and Koechner cheerfully stealing each one of their scenes. Full Review

There are some priceless character turns. Full Review

Tom Long, Detroit News
It has all the ingredients for cult immortality and will likely live on long after this year's Oscar winners are forgotten. Full Review

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
These days, it appears to be a rare gift to do comedy in a way that comes across as smart, but never superior or willfully crass. Bateman has that talent to spare. Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Mike Judge's Extract -- modest, no big deal but very savvy -- is the funniest American comedy of the summer. Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
The result doesn't seem as fresh as Office Space, but Judge still comes up with enough laughs to deserve our attention. Full Review

[Extract] resembles its titular foodstuffs: less a fully realized comedy than the distillation of one. The ingredients are there, and the recipe as well, but Judge evidently forgot that the whole dish... Full Review

This isn't a misanthropic picture; its true subject is the way love for our fellow human beings is so often thwarted by their actual behavior -- and still, stupidly perhaps, we just won't give up on t... Full Review
