Office Space director Mike Judge returns to the work place for this puzzling morality tale. Jason Bateman plays Joel, the owner of a factory that produces flavour extracts, who is frustrated by his moribund sex life with wife Suzie (Kristen Wiig). Urged on by his bartender pal Dean (Ben Affleck), Joel hires a gigolo to service Suzie so that he can pursue a sexy - but duplicitous - new employee (Mila Kunis). Add to the mix a horrific factory accident and the impending sale of the company to a huge corporation and you have a bemusing black comedy that is as unfocused as it is unbelievable. All the stars perform below their best, with even the normally reliable JK Simmons (Juno, Up in the Air) not given a chance to shine. Fans of glam rockers Kiss will at least be pleased to see Gene Simmons, who makes a nervous appearance as a slimy injury lawyer.

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.
