Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Sep 4, 2023 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.

Celebrating the fact that foibles of life can be fun and funny, there are lots of laughs to be extracted from EXTRACT.

Some of the performances involved in this plot are amusing, but they're cheap laughs that don't boast the keen observation and, thus, staying power that Extract's funniest bits do.

Extract is so bad its rottenness becomes a source of fascination, which is a good thing, because there's nothing else to sustain your interest while the 89 minute dud drags by.

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

Extract doesn't have a memorable message, a moralizing mission or a satirical axe to grind. But if your life needs a little humorous flavoring, pour away.

There is a lot of unconvincing, random plot, most characters are deeply unsympathetic and the women are poorly served by underdeveloped roles.

The film is never funny enough, and comes across as dispiritingly mean.

David Edwards Daily Mirror (UK) Apr 23, 2010 2/5

Aside from being not all that funny, Judge's droll-ish observations on the small-mindedness of corporate America never hit the mark while there are too many go-nowhere plot diversions.

Adam Woodward Little White Lies Apr 23, 2010 2/5

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

Simon Reynolds Digital Spy Apr 22, 2010 3/5

Extract is the kind of economical comedy that's more about sly grins of acknowledgments and quiet chuckles than rolling in the aisles laughter.

A bemusing black comedy that is as unfocused as it is unbelievable.
