   It's actually better than what I was expecting. By the trailer you would think this is only a big trashy party but there's actually more into it. From the reviews I've been reading a lot of people have been complaining about the plot being bigger than what they would enjoy and the party not lasting the time they wanted.I like it better this way since I enjoy a good plot and wouldn't like just a party-no matter how crazy it would be.
   
   Like the trends of the last holidays' movies this has different small stories for all characters but they all entwine. So, if you are looking for getting really in deep with a character this won't happen although they are good constructed, but, again, I don't think anyone was expecting it.
   
   Obviously, this is not genius but I think it's very entertaining and funny. I also need to point that the cast is absolutely brilliant and they knew exactly who to pick for this.
   I will definitely watch it again. 7 years 4 months ago

   Despite having a lot of comedy stars in its service, Christmas Office Party doesn't really work, chiefly because of T.J. Miller. I'm not simply docking it points because he's a terrible person, but really because he's such a non-presence in the movie. And he's in it A LOT. He's essentially playing the dumbass for whom Jason Bateman is the straight man (so the Charlie Day character, relevant seeing as it steals a couple gags from Horrible Bosses), but no way can we muster warm feelings for this off-white wallpaper of a man. Bateman is of course watchable, but you never really believe in his romance with Olivia Munn. The plot requires them to plan a giant office party to woo an investor before the Scrooge-like CEO (Jennifer Aniston) closes the branch down, so lots of stupid drunk/high comedy going on, sex jokes, etc. That's fine, but the movie sort of realizes it doesn't have much of a plot in the third act and throws a bit of a crime element there at the end. By that point, the Wicked Witch of the West is ready for her unearned turn to the Light Side of the Force, and so on. Replace Miller with someone with an ounce of charisma and you MIGHT have an average half-improvised comedy. 4 months 1 week ago
