Extract

Rating: 6
Run Time: 1:30
Starring Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Kristen Wiig, and J.K. Simmons
Genre: Mature Audience and Comedy

This movie has some good laughs and laughable characters: the persistent neighbor anyone would want to avoid; Bartender (Affleck) whose gratuitous advice can only lead to trouble; clueless workers on the production line; and the hunky moron of a pool boy. Jason Bateman owns a company making food extracts. Productivity on the plant floor would cause most efficiency experts to cringe, and his marraige has become dull. A sexy con artist enters the picture as a "temp" at the plant. An implausible sequence of events follows. The plot lines don't come together too well, but the movie is entertaining.
