QUICK THOUGHTS: I don’t mind this film, but I’m not overjoyed watching it. It sort of plays like a sitcom with your favorite stars, but it’s not one of the “good” episodes, instead it’s just the guys doing their thing and as a result you watch it instead of watching something else. Best put, this is a movie you catch on HBO or Showtime when nothing else is on after having rented it from Netflix.
Oh, as for a quick synopsis, Jason Bateman owns an extract plant and is planning on selling it off and retiring when one of his employees is injured and threatens to sue the plant putting the sale in limbo, all while Mila Kunis plays a con artist whom Bateman is considering cheating on his wife (Kristen Wiig) with. The potential is there, but the delivery is empty.
SUPPLEMENTS: We’re talking pretty much bare bones here. There are 4 minutes and 30 seconds worth of extended scenes, which means you really only get about 45 seconds of new stuff as an extra joke is tacked onto the end of a handful of scenes. This is followed up by a 30 second deleted scene, which is equally unimpressive. Finally, there’s a 10 minute featurette that reveals the big fact that the film was shot in an actual factory! What? That’s crazy. No, seriously, all of these features are a waste.
FINAL THOUGHTS: If it wasn’t obvious, this isn’t a title I’d recommend you shell out money for. Just give it a Netflix rental, smile a couple of times and be done with it.
