Office Christmas Party
Under order of his big sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston), Clay Vanstone (T.J. Miller), branch manager of a major tech company in Chicago is in danger of losing his job and subsequently shutting down the office if he can’t land the next big client, Walter Davis (Courtney Vance). Supported by his friends and co-workers Josh and Tracy (Jason Bateman and Olivia Munn) Clay is going to need all the help he can get, perhaps this year’s Office Christmas Party will give him the edge he needs to succeed; unless of course Mary (Kate McKinnon) from H.R. has anything to say about the matter. The fates of all hang in the balance. 
Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, Office Christmas Party is very much like an actual office party, starting out with the best intentions but inevitably winding up deeply flawed from the core out. Specifically, with the firepower of the ensemble alone one would think the hit count on the laugh-o-meter would be significantly higher; instead, earning only a few out loud guffaws the intended field goals remain many yards short of the uprights. On the positive McKinnon’s thick headed H.R. character turns out to be a scene stealer so there is some hope. Regardless, probably best to hold that entertainment dollar and wait for rental on this one. Office Christmas Party is rated R.
