Mike Judge's Extract



Mike Judge, the man behind Beavis & Butthead made one of my fave movies ever: Office Space, from 1999. Now he's back with almost-as-good new flick Extract.

The movie features the guy from Arrested Development, Jason Bateman as the lead. A successful soft drink factory owner, who leads a nice but boring suburban life. When his wife say NO constantly, he starts thinking about having an affair. His buddy, a bartender played by Ben Affleck (ok), comes up with the bright idea to hire a gigolo to check if Bateman's wife is faithful.

Anyhow, the movie is good solid fun, with a great scam-artist female who is Batemans love interest, played by Mila Kunis, and loads of fun working class types from the factory. Not as brilliant as Office Space, but hey, you only paint a Mona Lisa once.
