| My Grade: (C+). "Extract" is a entertaining film, but it doesn't come close to being called, "My Favorite Comedy Of 2009!" Sexual frustration, hot babes, and good acting is wasted on a thin plot that runs out of gas. Mike Judge simply bit off more than he could chew. Joel Reynold (Jason Bateman), is a bored, uptight, and sexually frustrated male, who is the owner of Reynold Extracts. This small factory specializes in making flavored food extracts. Reynold Extracts is filled to the brim with disgruntled employees, divas, mouthy broads and show-offs, but is still doing remarkably well. When Joel is not at the office, he is on a quest to drill his wife, Suzie (Kristen Wiig) before she puts on her sweats at 8:00pm. A call from General Mills about a potential buyout is just what the doctor ordered. Things begin spinning out of control when a bizarre incident involving Step (Clifton Collins Jr.) at the factory, culminates with Step receiving a brutal blow to the ball sack by an unidentified flying object. Entering the fray are the potent combo of Cindy (Mila Kunis) and Dean (Ben Affleck.) Cindy exposes to the viewers what kind of woman that she really is in the opening sequence. Cindy applies for a temp job at Extracts after reading about Step's injury in the newspaper. She convinces Step to file a lawsuit against Reynold Extracts. This further muddies the waters of for the General Mills buyout. Dean is a bartender and Joel's buddy. His solutions for curing Joel's sexual frustration and sourness end in disaster! His heart is in the right place when he suggests paying a gigolo (Dustin Milligan) to have sex with Suzie, so that Joel can cheat on her without any guilt. Joel spends most of the film cleaning up one mess after another that his best friend and the sultry drifter gets him into. Mike Judge introduced another one of Joel's nemesis early on: Nathan (David Koechner.) Nathan plays your typical bothersome,loud, prudish, next-door neighbor. Nathan's presence goes stale really fast. Mike Judge keeps him around because he plays a key role in the climax. And the finale of "Extract," is a big disappointmen. Deflated is how I felt when the movie finally ended. | ||
