Review: 'Extract' Is Funny But Not What Expected

Extract

"Extract" is not quite what was expected. Sure, it's funny. Sure, the awkward uncomfortableness of previous Mike Judge films ("Office Space," "Idiocracy") is here.

Okay. I come to this with no context or knowledge. But if its one of those typical quirky comedy movies, I'll probably be watching it...sometime for Kristen Wigg and Mila Kunis who're so funny. Good review.I agree with the point you made about the whole awkward movie genre. Its definetly falling in love with its own cleverness and lets make fun of the cliches approach and you can never tell whether that's good or bad. On one hand it gets snarkier and more absurd. On the other hand, people stop understanding you.

"concentrated essence of the substance" Ha, nice.
I already wanted to see the movie mostly because of my love of Office Space and Jason Bateman's understated humor, but now I want to see it more. Seeing a Mike Judge movie with the promise of a little more heart definitely has me intrigued.
Good review, thanks.
