Extract is a 2009 American comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge.
The film stars Jason Bateman as Joel, the owner of a flavor extract manufacturing plant who is dealing with a variety of personal and professional problems.
The main plot revolves around Joel's unhappy marriage to his wife Suzie (Kristen Wiig), who is no longer intimate with him. Joel's bartender friend Dean (Ben Affleck) suggests hiring a gigolo to sleep with Suzie, so that Joel can then guilt-free have an affair with a new employee named Cindy (Mila Kunis), who is actually a con artist trying to get the plant sued.
Meanwhile, the plant faces other issues, including a worker named Step (Clifton Collins Jr.) who loses a testicle in an accident and decides to sue the company. The film also features supporting performances from J.K. Simmons as a factory worker and David Koechner as Joel's annoying neighbor.
Reviews for Extract were generally positive, with praise for the performances and the film's mix of raunchy and subtle humor. However, some critics felt the plot was overly convoluted and the comedy didn't quite reach the heights of Mike Judge's previous film Office Space. The film was a modest box office success, grossing around $10.8 million worldwide against an $8 million budget.
Overall, Extract is a quirky workplace comedy that explores the personal and professional troubles of a small business owner in an offbeat, sometimes absurdist manner. The film showcases Mike Judge's talent for creating memorable characters and observational humor.
