Animali da ufficio

I was very interested in seeing what Patrick Brice does next (Creep & Creep 2 are, in my opinion, awesome genre movies) and I'm not happy to say that "Corporate Animals" feels like a flop in each and every way.

Many reviews state the very same flaws and I can't find any better words, because they're right - it feels like a stretched out character sketch with a very shallow plot, uninventive sitatuations, most of the humor is based on archaic social stereotypes & all the social commentary in the script is old and tiring already, which is also the case regarding the characters. You've seen all this or close variations of all this somewhere before. Nevertheless, the actors seemed to do their best with the script they've been given & there are a few crank-out-a-smile moments. The plot never really takes off, never builds up to anything, eventually feeling repeatitive. In other words, there are some pacing issues. In the light of all the negative aspects it's hard to compliment anything else, what we've still left is the visual side of the movie, and, well, it's simply alright. There are a few tiny, cool surprises, one in a form of an animated dream.

"Corporate Animals" is a painfully average 90 minute comedy sketch & the kind of a horror comedy that You can pass on while not missing anything. I recommend it for those who like the cast, comedy on the corporate themes or to those who want to see how Patrick Brice underwhelms You after the Creep duology. My rating: 5/10

The reviews for this movie from other people are scathing. People did not like this one. I did though, I had no clue it was directed by the director of the Creep films, and while this is no where near as good, it is still I'd say a quality flick. The comedy got some legit laughs, the bits of gore are great, and there is fun little animated sequence near the middle. If you like quirky movies check this one out, it's really not that bad.

I really enjoyed it.

Thought this would be a crap raunchy comedy. I was wrong. It's a sharp shooting dark comedy.

Hilarious in the most subtle of ways.

"Not my arm! It's where I keep my watch" Great cast. And it had a good ending which is rare.

This one was just not funny enough to make you satisfied that you watched it. The laughs are far and few between and not just else going on for it. Maybe if you had nothing else to watch it is ok but definitely a one time watch.

The actors are good performers in this. I just didn't like the storyline. Pace was slow, and situation was uncomfortable, but I get that is what the filmmakers were going for. They succeeded. I just felt uncomfortable watching all these adults behave like spoiled brats among each other. Just not my cup of tea. Didn't find it entertaining.
