Extract


Another great Netflix catch thats an indie Mike Judge film.  The characters in this movie are awesome and in true Judge form.  We have a middle age vanilla extract factory owner (Bateman), who is seriously missing something in his life, most notably sex from his distant wife.  He gets involved with a scheme to find out if his wife is cheating on him and in the meantime falls for a young, hot con artist.  There are so many personalities in this movie that it will keep you interested throughout while throwing in hilarious mishaps that are all too real life.  I think Bateman is one of the funniest actors today and pairing him with Kristin Wiig, J.K. Simmons, and David Koechner is genius.  If your up for a good light hearted comedy with an indie feel, this is it.

(FYI:  The scene in the pawn shop where Cindy sells the stolen guitar was filmed in the same store used for the infamous pawn shop scenes in Pulp Fiction.)
