Aniston has a great time as the vampy, Krav Maga-ing Bitch Who Stole Christmas, and Miller’s willful idiocy is weirdly endearing. Read full review

The film’s success is due to the twinkly commitment of the large and talented cast. Read full review

McKinnon, Aniston and Jillian Bell's smiley pimp run away with the show, and as the party wears on, it becomes increasingly, thrillingly surreal. Read full review

Too many moments elicit a polite half chuckle, when the screenwriters are trying for uproarious laughter. But it benefits from an excellent cast, who seem to be all in. And whenever there’s a stretch of extended mediocrity, it’s almost always saved by an unexpected moment of politically incorrect inspiration. Read full review

Do not count on Office Christmas Party to deliver a contact high. Yes, there are laughs to be had, but not the off-the-charts merriment promised by the title and the film’s expert cast of comic actors. Read full review

This pooped party brings you down from all the jokes that don't land and the flop sweat pouring off good actors whose forced cheer is exhausting. Read full review

It’s that time of the year ladies and germs, where the Holiday movies come crashing in. However, this time we seem to be onto a winner…

2016 is winding down and we have had our fair share of ups and downs. So why not lift the spirit and jump into some festive viewing. This time with the help from Josh Gordon and Will Speck’s ‘Office Christmas Party’.

Alright, I know… The title may seem rather off putting, but don’t take this lightly, this film right here is a top running contender to take out quite possibly ‘The Funniest movie of the year’.
That’s right you heard it. It is that damn good!

Centered around a tech company, this film could not get anymore 2016 if it tried. And man, will it make you depressed about your own lame upcoming Christmas party (better start sneaking that booze in). Featuring a stellar cast of Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston, T.J Miller, Olivia Munn and Kate McKinnon just to name a few this film is sure fire, or ‘Lit’ as 2016 has led us to believe.

McKinnon continues her onslaught of slaying in everything that she does and doesn’t look like she is about to slow down anytime soon. Her Comedy is fantastic and for any SNL lover out there, I can guarantee that it will leave you in stitches. T.J Miller (best known for his role in Silicon Valley) brings the heat as he works his magical improv into various scenes throughout, many which almost had me spitting out my Pepsi Max as I attempted to take a sip (Hey Pepsi, need a plug, brah?).

Without spoiling the films plot, it is pretty simple to guess. Yes it is centered around an Office Christmas party (go figure) but it is a delightful and hilarious film that should be added to any Christmas movie list you may have currently running.

Get off the couch, get out of the office, put down the eggnog and stop talking to your creepy cousin. Go see this film right now and join in on the quotes. This has to be the funniest film of the year.… Expand

I was very much expecting this to be an immature, juvenile, stupid film that I'd turn off after 30 minutes. I was very pleasantly surprised! The peak of the party does get kind of juvenile, but this is no fluff piece. It's a clever, well written, funny, entertaining film.

How do you rate these types of romps? If they were entertaining, made you laugh/chuckle, then they succeeded. This type isn't about acting prowess and the such, it's about fun with a nut of a moral in there. And it's geared towards those that prefer juvenile sex humor.

If you go on cheap ticket night (Tuesdays here, and you realize this is a dumb movie. You'll enjoy it, don't think of it as anything more than a popcorn movie.

Not nearly as crazy unhinged as you're hoping. This is after all from (some?) of the writers of The Hangover, and we know that their talk about the madness is way better than the actual thing (see also: Hangover sequels, 21 & Over, Bad Moms, etc).

This also explains why the first Hangover is the only one that really works -- it's all after the fact.

What you've got here is an old-fashioned Christmas redemption story with a likable cast (Olivia Munn being just one of the boys and inventing new hardware by being a good programmer, err...what?) and a bit of new-fashioned raunch.… Expand

Office Christmas Party, even with its seemingly perfect cast of comedic giants, is nothing more than a poorly written, cliche filled, disposable holiday mess.

This was a successful movie at the box office. Why ? Just why ? It should have flopped hard !!
Some movies deserve better than this one.
