The owner of a factory that produces flavor extracts, Joel Reynold (Jason Bateman) seems to have it all, but really doesn't. What's missing is sexual attention from his wife, Suzie (Kristen Wiig). Joel hatches a convoluted plan to get Suzie to cheat on him, thereby clearing the way for Joel to have an affair with Cindy (Mila Kunis), an employee. But what Joel doesn't know is that Cindy is a sociopathic con artist, and a freak workplace accident clears the way for her to ruin Joel forever.

Critics Consensus

Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances, but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge's previous work.

What a mistake. Extract is awful. Intended as a light, soft-porno-motivated film, it turned out to be crude and with little humor.

Has many promising ingredients, yet somehow none of them quite gel.

2/5

Judge knows his game well enough, but too often the jokes feel like seasoning to a premise that is just slightly overdone.

3/4

Judge’s ability to observe, identify, and satirize people without reducing them to mere stereotypes remains in full comedic force, making his approach a welcome change from Hollywood’s usual bawdy comedies.

7/10

The director's talent for creating unique and eccentric characters is still foremost in this manifestation of troubled blue collar workers and their disastrous dealings.

Not one of Mike Judge's stronger efforts, but there's still more here than most comedies have to offer.
