Joel: What is it with women? Y'know, they say they don't care about looks - they just want a guy who's smart and funny - but they always just end up laughing at whatever the good-looking stupid guy says.
Mike Judge of Office Space and Beevis and Butthead fame has put together a film that has slipped under the radar. It is nowhere as good as Office Space, but it is entertaining and worth the watch. Jason Bateman is Joel Reynolds, a pretty ordinary guy who happens to run an extract bottling factory. He is literally surrounded by characters; his co-workers, nightmare of a nieghbor, wanna be dude best friend and seemingly frigid wife played by Kristen Wiig, who seems to act in almost everything right now. The comedy lies in the subtly and Bateman has just the right control over both. Judge is all about characters and this movie is in no short supply.
