What to Know

Critics Consensus

Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances, but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge's previous work.

What a mistake. Extract is awful. Intended as a light, soft-porno-motivated film, it turned out to be crude and with little humor. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 04/23/2010
2/5
Has many promising ingredients, yet somehow none of them quite gel. Go to Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies 04/23/2010
2/5
Judge knows his game well enough, but too often the jokes feel like seasoning to a premise that is just slightly overdone. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/04/2023
3/4
Judge’s ability to observe, identify, and satirize people without reducing them to mere stereotypes remains in full comedic force, making his approach a welcome change from Hollywood’s usual bawdy comedies. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020
7/10
The director's talent for creating unique and eccentric characters is still foremost in this manifestation of troubled blue collar workers and their disastrous dealings. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/07/2020

Jun 11 Hilarious movie, another great offering from Mike Judge. As usual, got zero promotion from studio. Great cast and performances. Judging by lukewarm response, guess people just didn't get it See more thiago s @Thiagostone Apr 24 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Javier F 02/02/2025 Very underrated comedy movie. I can watch this movie over and over again and it still cracks me up to this day. See more Read all reviews
