Mike Judge’s Idiocracy didn’t strike a chord beyond the hundred or so people who actually saw it theatrically. You can’t really blame Mike for that. He had no marketing support and although Idiocracy isn’t his best, there are a handful of legit laughs for those willing to put in the minutes.
Now Mike is back as writer/director in another stab to rekindle the magic enjoyed with Office Space. Extract takes Mike’s creative juices back to the workplace where Jason Bateman is on the verge of retirement until a series of unfortunate accidents send his life into a chaotic tailspin.
Co-starring with Jason are Mila Kunis who might actually look better than she did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Kristen Wiig and a bearded Ben Affleck.
You can check out the first Extract trailer below or see it in high definition at Apple.
