Review of Office Christmas Party (2016) by James R — 03 Apr 2017

It's a predictable movie, but man is Office Christmas Party hilarious. Probably the best comedy I've seen this year second behind Bad Moms (2016). Office Christmas Party is about a branch led by Clay Vanstone (T.

J. Miller) a goofy guy that doesn't seem like a business man, but he really cares about his employees. When his cruel sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston) visits the branch on the eve of the companies big office Christmas party (omg thats the name of the movie!), she informs Clay and his Chief Technical Officer and close friend Josh (Jason Bateman) that she is closing the branch down.

In a desperate move Clay tells Carol that if they land a huge client by the name of Walter Davis (Courtney B. Vance) the branch will be saved and everyone will still have their jobs and bonuses. It's easier said than done.

Walter is an old school kind of guy so along with Josh and tech savvy Tracey (Olivia Munn) they decide to throw a party that no one will ever forget and show Walter a good time. There's a lot more to the film including a ton of subplots that actually add to the overall likeness of the office workers.

Everyone is almost a stereotype of some kind of office worker, but they all have such great chemistry that they come off as super likeable. I said in the beginning its very predictable and overall a nice little R rated Christmas comedy that anyone looking for a good laugh should take a look at!
