Joel (Jason Bateman) is the plant owner that makes an Extract flavoring. He has a cold unsatisfying marriage. His workers are a bunch of buffoons. Cindy (Mila Kunis) is a thieving con artist. When he sees a news report of Step (Clifton Collins Jr.) losing a testicle in a plant accident. She sees a possibility to makes some money.
I love Mike Judge's slacker office movie 'Office Space'. He may be trying to transfer it to the factory floor. It's too stupid and unreal. 'Office Space' was exaggerated but there was an air of possibility. This movie has no connection to reality. And Jason Bateman is too unlikeable, too weak, and too whinny. Every once in a while, the movie hits on a funny note, but it could never be carried through. The office world and the factory world aren't the same thing.
