Age R: Rated-R for language, sexual references and some drug use.

Synopsis:
Joel is one step away from selling his flavor extract factory and retiring to easy street when a freak workplace accident sets in motion a series of disasters that put his business and personal life in jeopardy.

Thoughts:
Not as awesome as Office Space. I liked it, I really did but I was really hoping for it to be funnier. It wasn't. It did have it's moments that for sure, especially that ending. Gosh the ending!! Kinda sad but oh so hilarious.
What was especially funny about this movie were the extremes the main guy goes to in order to make his boring life better. It's hilarious what his best friend (played by Ben Affleck) thinks up. As you can tell from the trailer (below) every time his wife has put on her sweatpants, it means he gets no sex. He's unhappy. New hot girl at work gets him interested in her and hey maybe he can sleep with her but there's just no way he can cheat on his wife right? Trust me there's more to this story but I really don't want to give anything away. It's not predictable though so that's good.
This movie is definitely worth a watch especially if you're a fan of Jason Bateman, Mike Judge, Office Space (more stuff below). I would suggest you at least rent it. I wouldn't really recommend paying that much for it to watch it in theaters (theater tickets are expensive man!).
