Hidden gem
Hilarious the whole way through. The guy that made office space made this movie, so of course it’s hella funny. It’s got a great cast. Tack is even in the movie as one of the main characters. If you know, you know.

Funnier with every viewing
This movie is a masterclass of understated comedy.. i feel like I know so many of the side characters as I work with people just like them. This movie is hysterical and gets funnier every time I watch it. And it’s very quotable.. especially the line about having Domino’s deliver Pepsi.If I had one complaint, it’s the scene where Bateman and Affleck smoke weed with a friend of Affleck’s. It doesn’t make any sense that he didn’t know the gf of his own friend but she happens to show up during the scene.

Classic Jason Bateman!!

yet pretty funny sense of humor
Jason Bateman has a very subtle, yet pretty funny sense of humor. Mila Kunis brings a great character to the story, and Kristen Wiig does great job of portraying a realistic wife, yet keeping a sense of light humor about the situations that unfold in this movie. The acting is great, and it can be a bit slow at a certain point in the beginning - but it is a light, humorous movie, with a clean, bright picture; a meticulous set, and some nice views inside of a very clean factory and homes. I've watched this movie twice now. I'm not a movie re-watcher by any means. They have to be good. This is a good movie, with an interesting plot that twists a few times, and is definitely worth watching at least once.

EXTRACT {BLU-RAY]
This is a pretty good movie. I hadn't seen it until I saw it in the Library. I am beginning to like Jason Bateman. The man has a good sense of comedy. His sense of "Dead Pan" comedy is great. It has a very good cast and the acting is good too. You'll want to strangle the neighbor guy. He is so damn irritating !!!!!! The color comes across really nice as does the Blu-Ray quality. Audio sounded good to me, but I listen through external speakers hooked up to an older stereo without the digital quality. It is done in the 1:85:1 Aspect Ratio which I usually don't care for, but with this type of movie it is o.k. with me. The Special Features are: Mike Judge's Secret Recipe Featurette {in HD} This is pretty good - Extended Scene & Sneak Peeks {4} Overall it was an enjoyable movie & I will be watching it again & again.

Very funny
░░░░░IT'S VERY MIKE JUDGE░░░░░Considering this was a lower budget film no one has ever heard of, it was really funny! It has an all star cast. Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Kristin Wigg, Mila Kunis, and like a dozen other actors you'll immediately recognize.It's a funny story overall. It's not knee slapping hysteria for 90 minutes. But it's a steady stream of laughter.It's called Extract because Jason Bateman owns a small manufacturing company that makes things like vanilla extract and orange extract and stuff like that. The story is quirky, but it's very inventive and well thought out.My wife and I both loved it for a Friday night in.

Great Film!
This is a very well done film. Judge once again puts out a well done piece that dosen't seem to make much impact with critics and audiences. Office Space and Idiocracy are so much fun, and Extract continues that. Bateman is simply excellent in the lead role, perfect. Mila has really grown on me, she was "cute" for the 70's show, but I'm glad to see her moving up. One little nitpick I had with this was the "stoner" character. Don't know who played him, but he was too much like a skin head meth dealer, loud, obnoxious, violent, etc. Didn't seem like your friendly pot dealer dude. Good to see Affleck trying this role out, I like the job he did. So, overall, excellent film, the writing, acting, all very good. cheers.

A difficult month in the life of a nice guy...
"Extract, directed by Mike Judge (King of the Hill), is about Joel (Jason Bateman) who runs an extract factory. He has his regular ups and downs just like anyone, but when one of his workers loses his testicle in a freak accident things start to go from bad to worse. The next thing that happens to him is a con-woman named Cindy (Mila Kunis) begins work for him. Cindy convinces the testicleless employee to file a lawsuit against the company. Also, his wife hasn't wanted to have sex with him for months, and so he takes some bad advice from his friend, Dean(Ben Affleck), and hires a pool guy to seduce his wife so that he can guiltlessly have an affair with Cindy, and before he knows it the pool guy is coming over everyday and has fallen in love with his wife. Then the employees decide that they should get a piece of the pie of his company, since he is thinking of selling it to a prospective buyer, and decide to go on strike."Extract" is like one of those bad months where one thing after another keeps happening to Joel. Joel is a nice guy, who has always tried to be good to people and do the right thing. He knows all of his employees names. He can't even bring himself to yell at the pool guy for continuing to visit his wife at his house. "Extract" is a pleasant little film that just keeps moving along with one amusing ill event after another. We wonder where this is all leading, because it looks like fate is against Joel. He is about to lose everything, his wife, his business, et cetera. But then there's a turning point where he realizes that Cindy is probably not as innocent as she seems. And as gently as misfortune had swelled over him, it then begins to subside, and all begins to fall back into place as before. This film washes gently over one as mildly and pleasantly as does Joel's kindly demeanor.

A very quirky comedy
Quirky- 'The Office' meets 'I Love You to Death'. Everyone does good work, though pace slows, at times.

Terrible
What a terrible disappointment. I love Bateman and Wiig but their talemts are squandered in this boring film.
