Office Christmas Party

I understand why people might be down on this movie but I really enjoyed it. It had the right elements of the great party comedy. Great cast. Great party. Maybe I really enjoyed it because I was drinking along with it and wanted it to be good. But is that such a problem to have? It did feel like it couldn't quite hit the punchline as well as I wanted it to. But if you want to have fun with it you will.

I just wish I could get to a party like that !!

On a different note , I can't off much where Jason Bateman hasn't been great , this is his sort of film light , happy and a bit troubled !

Overall just a great fun film . Along with lots of childish humour !! What's not to like.

Just watch it and enjoy and smile.

Nothing nothing awkward or cheesy. Perfectly paced, perfect characther building in such a short amount of time. Perfectly timed and subtle jokes and pretty great acting.

Even the hundreds of extra's were flawlessly directed.

Good laughs and no restrictons. They went all out in a very un-American way.

Kudos to the director.

I always like a good Bateman flick but this one has everyone else too. It's a bit of an obnoxious and almost surreal film that gets me with every watch. It's kinda like an actual Office movie but without a censor or Steve Carell.

The story is pretty straight forward with characters that are too real and simultaneously unqualified for their job. What's great about it is it's a people movie. Personalities shine through the main cast, supporting cast and even the bit parts. The pacing never drags and the movie almost feels like it could've gone a little longer. I doubt we will ever see a sequel, but one can hope.

I just finished watching Office Christmas Party without reading the reviews first. And now that I just read a couple pages of reviews I realize once again that there are a whole lot of humorless people walking on this planet. Not that it is the greatest comedy ever, far from that, but there are for sure enough sequences to make you have a good time. I just wonder what does make those negative reviewers laugh. Probably nothing. There are a lot of people that just never laugh, never have any fun in their pretty boring lives. I'm so lucky my wife has the same sense of humor as me, so that we have fun every day of the year. The story in the movie is not to be taken serious because it's just a comedy. Maybe with some stupid humor but it's still way better then a lot of other comedies. Kate McKinnon made me laugh the most, but the other comedians all added their bit as well to make it an enjoyable comedy to watch. Just don't expect too much of the story because it's not the point to have a great story, it's just about the fun.
