Lyapunov1859 This movie caused me to laugh hysterically throughout many parts of the film. A lot of it was due to its unique plot. Hollywood particularly lacks uniqueness these days. Jason Bateman did not play the rude character that he plays in most of his films. He was likable and relatable. It bothers me how movies try to use these macho characters as their stars. It makes you care about the story much less because many people are not like them. The movie also deals with ordinary problems that many people have throughout the day. One of them was the interaction between Jason Bateman and his neighbor. It dealt with the frequent struggle to avoid situations like that. The ending with Kirsten Wiig was the only thing that was not relatable to me or many audience members. Besides that, it was almost completely to my liking.

Prismark10 Extract stars Jason Bateman as Joel, a successful businessman who sells flavours. He works hard in his factory which is full of oddball employees, most of them seem to be lazy or inept but Joel knows them all by their first names and his door is always open.Despite his success, Joel has an unsatisfactory sex life, his wife Suzie (Kristen Wiig) never seems to be in the mood. His neighbour always bothers him. Joel is tempted to stray when a beautiful temp is hired Cindy (Mila Kunis) who is really a thief and a con woman. She plans to befriend an injured employee who lost a testicle in a freak accident at the factory and persuade him to go for a big money lawsuit.Things get worse when his best buddy Dean (Ben Affleck) gives him drugs that impairs his judgment and he agrees to hire a gigolo to sleep with his wife to find out if she really is cheating on him.The film is written and directed by Mike Judge (creator of Beavis & Butt-Head) but it lacks a wild anarchic streak. It is simply amiable as Bateman is master in playing the harassed straight guy who life is on the verge of falling apart.However some of it just does not get anywhere. Why does his wife Suzie get the hots for the dim gigolo? Wiig is wasted, she tries to explain to Bateman why she avoided having sex with him but the director has lost interest and moves away from the subject.When the factory is at risk because of the impending lawsuit, you think surely the insurers would be dealing with this?The film lacks big laughs, it goes for awkward characterisation but it does not really work.

Kirpianuscus nothing new. only remember. about responsibilities, relations, lives near us, crazy people, force to resist to the pressure, family and creepy events and need to save a business and your life. all in the right package. so, a comedy with the virtue to be good mirror for the states and fights and fears of the public. one of films about nothing who has the chance to be about everything. and does it a great show. the humor and the reality behind it. the performances and the way to be more than a nice film. sure, it is amusing and chaotic and strange. like many of the events from each life. so, a good movie. for forgive. and to know to not be the only in delicate situations.

LeeRob7 I actually watched this movie by accident thinking it was another movie of a similar name, Extracted. What I found was a quaint, enjoyable movie with very likable characters. Set predominantly in a small factory centered around the owner, Joel (Jason Bateman), who seems to be having a mid-life crisis. The movie follows Joel, his wife, friends and employees on a series of life events that send his world into turmoil teetering on the brink of bankruptcy and separation. Bateman is excellent as the naive, dissatisfied lead with a brilliant supporting cast including Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, J.K. Simmons and David Koechner most notably. Everyone in the movie holds their own adding something different to the pleasing blend of subtle comedy and realistic drama, making this a simple yet satisfying movie. Even Ben Affleck manages to entertain, something he has consistently failed to do for me since Pearl Harbour. Not mind-blowing or earth-shattering but quite unique in it's own, heartfelt way. 7/10
