Review of Extract

Extract (2009)
4/10
Unfunny and tedious, has it's moments though although very few
10 February 2011
This is a dry comedy and not in a good way either, I guess it tries to be witty but it really isn't. It wasn't a unbearable comedy, but that isn't to say it's one of the good ones either. None of the jokes aren't even that funny, the most I got out of it is a few smirks and for that I give the movie some credit. It's even more disappointing because it's directed by Mike Judge who made some great and witty comedies in the past. I have no idea how this movie even made it into theaters, I am not even sure if it's worth renting. Some parts of this movie does make it sort of likable, but that is about it. In fact the movie's humor sort of felt like a very less funny version of "The Office" although I like the Office. And lot of elements in this movie just wasn't focused and the script was pretty dull. On one more positive note, it did have it's moments although very few, I guess I just expected better. Just was waiting for something interesting to happen but that never really happened either. From looking at some reviews, the movie has it's target audiences it just wasn't the comedy I enjoyed watching all that much.
