    I happen to like Mike Judge films. No, he's not Woody Allen, but his films are clever and enjoyable in their own way. "Extract" is a little like a Coen brothers film, maybe a "A Serious Man" or "Burn After Reading" (it's even got J.K. Simmons… More

    Average acting & average laughs, this movie is only ok. Office Space is 150 times funnier than this movie.
