Extract

hey all,

The new film from Mike Judge is called extract. It's about a boss who owns an extract (vanilla, cherry, etc.) company. His name is Joel, but he isn't really satisfied with his life. Sex with his wife is a rare occurrence. The job is wearing and stressful, and when an offer comes to buy out the company, Joel can't wait to get out. After an accident at the factory, the sale of the company is in doubt. Enter Cindy who is established as a con artist in the first scene of the movie. She begins to flirt with Joel, but she is working on some other people as well. Things become complicated at this point. I will stop before I spoil the movie, but I will say that this movie wasn't as funny as I had hoped. The theater was dead silent through most of the movie. Now, this is in Fargo, North Dakota, so it may not be the best sample audience, but I was hoping for something more. Check it out if you really want to see it, but Idiocracy and Office Space were both way better. 5/10.
