Office Christmas Party is a comedy about a Christmas party that is meant to save the branch that goes wrong.
It's a passable comedy that is probably best viewed around Christmas after having a few drinks and stumbling upon it on TV or Netflix. There are some good jokes but they are few and far between, and the best joke in the film is in the outtakes during the credits. It is a shame because there is a lot of wasted comedic talent here; Jason Bateman, T.J. Miller, Jennifer Aniston, Kate McKinnon, Rob Corddry, Jillian Bell and probably some others that I have forgotten about. When there is a lull in the film, instead of letting the comedians do their thing, the directors instead decide to just show some "crazy" partying because apparently that's funny. Then the ending feels like it's out of a completely different film.
In short: It's OK. Or maybe I'm not harsh enough on comedies.
