Extract

Starring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, J.K. Simmons, and Ben Affleck

Written and Directed by Mike Judge

Release Date: September 4th, 2009

Boring.....is the worst thing you can say about a movie. Say what you will about such bad movies like Batman and Robin, Troll 2 or Super Mario Brothers, but at least they're entertaining, there's something funny or amusing about them. This movie, written and directed by Mike Judge of "Office Space", is horrendously boring, so much so that I had yet to crack 1 smile in the first 30 minutes of the film. Don't bother with Extract; if you're a fan of Judge's, rent Office Space again, or check out "Idiocracy", Judge's dystopian comedy starring Luke Wilson.

People remember Mike Judge because he creates better stories than this: King of the Hill, Beavis and Butthead, and Office Space are all well-known comedies that have become pop culture landmarks and definitely have their fareshare of fans and memorable jokes. Extract, on the other hand, is not funny despite the cast of well-known comedic actors and Judge himself as writer and director. Extract is one of those forgettable films that didn't deserve to be this mediocre.

Rating: * of 5
