Extract (R,
Comedy) C+
Joel (Jason Bateman) has a stable business making
Extract but he finds himself in a loveless marriage. When he takes his bartender's
(Ben Affleck) advice to solve his marital problems he ends up having more
trouble than before. At the same time a problem develops in his factory.
Jason Bateman does a good job playing the part of the responsible business
owner that has to do deal with all the wild situations around him. There
were too many characters in this film competing for attention. Some scenes
could have been deleted as well. Most of the comedy is derived from an older
lady on the factory floor that keeps carrying on and from a pool cleaner
that has to have everything explained to him various times.
