The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

With Christmas coming up,I spoke to a family friend to ask if he had recently picked up any new X-Mas flicks. Charmed by the scenes they share in the Horrible Bosses movies,I was happy to learn of another Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman team-up,which led to me getting set for the end of year office bash.View on the film:Throwing out the set-up within the opening 20 mins, the screenplay lets it snow with an improvised atmosphere, via the extended office party follow various sets of guests in an episodic-style. Whilst this format allows for a number of raunchy punch-lines, the thin plot leads to the movie stagnating,due to there being little options for progression in the relationships of the workers.Attempting to save their jobs with a wild party, co-directors Josh Gordon & Will Speck deck the halls with glittering neon lights that shine an anything goes,free for all atmosphere on the event. Joined by a sassy Abbey Lee as Savannah and a dead-pan Kate McKinnon as Mary, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston give the flick a much-needed glass of festive cheer as Carol Vanstone and Josh Parker,thanks to Aniston and Bateman retaining their snappy black comedy delivery from their past team-ups,which they unwrap at the office X-Mas party.

'Office Christmas Party' does what it says on the box - it's a comedy revolving around a workplace Christmas Party in Chicago. It used to be a family business, but now Clay (Miller) runs the office and his sister Carol (Aniston) is trying to shut him down. Josh (Bateman) is the CTO and Tracey (Munn) his IT head/love interest. To boost morale, Clay, Josh & Tracey decide to have a huge Christmas Party - and the debauchery ensues.The support cast is pretty great - Mary from HR (McKinnon, in a terrible Xmas jumper), Jeremy from Customer Relations (Corddry, always funny), Fred from Accounts (Park, with his weird fetish) and Nate from IT (Soni, almost his same cab-driver character from 'Deadpool', great to watch), plus a crazy pimp (Bell). The plot is pretty thin and padded with a car chase and the typical "rave to some techno" scenes. The "love story" between Josh & Tracey is almost non-existent.It's the same directors that bought us 'The Switch' with Bateman and Aniston, but it's nowhere near as fun or inventive as 'Horrible Bosses', or last year's 'The Night Before' - and as far as "adult" Christmas films go, not even close to 'Bad Santa'. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, and a few good jokes thrown in, but often it seems like it's being crude or stupid for no reason.

Given this is Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman fifth time together, you'd think they'd change their roles up a bit. He's the corporate lackey, playing it safe and trying to get people to play nice. She's the hard-assed boss, determined to make his life hell! In this case, she's a CEO threatening to shut down his branch, All the standard stereotypes are here; the boss (T.J. Miller) who inherited the company, having done nothing to earn that position. The HR head (Kate McKinnon), so buttoned up she spends her life enforcing the rules,. An IT supervisor (Karan Soni) with seemingly no control, whose attempts to impress his subordinates backfire. And Jason Batemans character has a smart and attractive colleague (Olivia Munn), with an unrequited relationship backstory. And you know that by the end of the film, these misfits will have saved their jobs and probably end up in relationships, all because they got drunk and allowed their colleagues to see them in a different light (and all with only positive, not negative consequences).It's a shame, given the list of stars, that the film just doesn't work that well. The main four characters - Miller, Aniston, Batman and Munn - pull it along, with everyone else following their lead. Even McKinnon (possibly the best thing about the last Ghostbusters) is reduced to fart jokes.Those at the party probably woke up feeling like people who watched to the end of the film.

When his uptight CEO sister threatens to shut down his branch, the branch manager throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day, but the party gets way out of hand. Office Christmas Party is the kind of film that you try to understand of why was it even made? The jokes are cheap and retarded and their meant to entertain 5-year olds since people get "wasted" from drinking, Aniston chokes someone until their face starts turning red and someone else falls down and we're supposed to laugh cause it's funny? The acting is terrible and the characters are completely dumb. Jason Bateman's talent goes threw the window and once again Kate McKinnon can't make me smile or at least chuckle. Overall this is an awful comedy and an even worse Christmas Movie. (0/10)
