The owner of a factory that produces flavor extracts, Joel Reynold seems to have it all, but really doesn't. What's missing is sexual attention from his wife, Suzie. Joel hatches a convoluted plan to get Suzie to cheat on him, thereby clearing the way for Joel to have an affair with Cindy, 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.

Admirable film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Boring, stupid, not funny, bad ending, just a waste of time watching.

This movie was horrible. I watched this because I like Mila Kunis and was coming off of a Jason Bateman high of This Is Where I Leave You and Horrible Bosses II. I guess everyone had some sort of large payment due on various debts. While the actors seemed to do exactly what you would expect (Jason Bateman was the straight man, Mila Kunis the cool chick, Ben Affleck the philosophical slob, and Kristen Wiig as awkward girl), no plot, no chemistry, and no idea of what journey we were supposed to be on. It was so disappointing because I usually enjoy these actors very much. Basically, a G-rated Eyes Wide Shut, where the protagonist gets led around by his hard-on for two hours. I haven't felt this visceral a response to a movie since Traci Lords' Not of This Earth in 1989. Badly done, Jason and Mila, badly done.

Firstly, if you watch this expecting a comedy you're likely to be sorely disappointed.Secondly, you are unlikely to find a more unpleasant, unsympathetic bunch of characters in many other movie. From the boss of a small 'extract' company (whatever that is) who sets up his easy wife with a dumb-and-dumber pool cleaner to the selfish, lazy, lower-than- average intelligence factory workers there is not one character that 'extracted' an ounce of sympathy or empathy from this viewer.The irritating next door neighbour is the closest this film approaches to comedy but thats not close, maybe the next county. Acting performances are adequate but, (did I imagine it) it's almost possible to detect the embarrassment among the cast over their involvement in this unappetising offering.Unusually, it is Ben Affleck alone who is able to make something of the material available to him in the form of a drug dealing, hippy barman. It's not much though, and not nearly enough.The plot is trite and ludicrous. The stock Hollywood happy endings round everything off nicely - for everybody except the viewer who is left wondering what the point of this film was - as it seems to fail on all levels.

I wasn't planning either to see this, or to review it, but I still both sat down watching if, and after that I frog I had to put down some words.It's starts off cozy enough, but then it gets very boring, and looks like it's going to be another stupid comedy with sexual explicit language and "fun" which I hard, because it's in too many of these Hollywood comedies, and that I find it boring. However, after the first half (I'm afraid it's almost that long before it gets interesting) it sucks you in. This is dud to good acting, and some great little roles, like agent Simmons as a lawyer.I finally got some greats laughs, and that makes me give this a 6/10. Better than most such comedies.
