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

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances, but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge's previous work.

What a mistake. Extract is awful. Intended as a light, soft-porno-motivated film, it turned out to be crude and with little humor. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 04/23/2010
2/5
Has many promising ingredients, yet somehow none of them quite gel. Go to Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies 04/23/2010
2/5
Judge knows his game well enough, but too often the jokes feel like seasoning to a premise that is just slightly overdone. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/04/2023
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. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020
7/10
The director's talent for creating unique and eccentric characters is still foremost in this manifestation of troubled blue collar workers and their disastrous dealings. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/07/2020

Greg K @RT73240053 Jul 20 It was worth watching when I was mindlessly searching for something to watch. The cast is great. See more Jennifer H @Jhunter731 Jul 13 I expected more from Jason, Mila and Kristin, I don't think I laughed once during the whole movie. Don't waste your time. See more Gary H @GaryH2 Feb 18 Totally awful and asinine. No funny jokes. Just endless infidelity and broken vows. No redeeming value to this movie. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Jul 30 A funny plot of a man in peril hoping to save his business.
