Overwhelming pressures voraciously complicating the everyday affairs of a hardworking bunch at play, it soon becomes apparent that a lucrative deal must be struck in order to keep the sultry spice flowing, the troubling news being delivered in überScroogelike fashion, the high-end players responding with executive precision.
There's no other option.
It's time to party.
Festivities of epic proportions are therefore precipitated, the celebrations, ecstatically fuelled.
But as the good times roll, will Josh Parker (Jason Bateman), Clay Vanstone (T. J. Miller), and Tracey Hughes (Olivia Munn) be able to convince Walter Davis (Courtney B. Vance) that their research and development should move beyond the experimental phase?
Will Clay's uptight sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston) shut them down to right misperceived childhood wrongs?
Will human resources rep Mary (Kate McKinnon) engage in merrymaking regardless of penitent restrictions?
And will the prostitute (Abbey Lee as Savannah) Nate (Karan Soni) hires successfully pass as his supple theoretical girlfriend?
Before her psychotic pimp (Jillian Bell as Trina) shows up to destroy everything?
Wildly engaging in dishevelling shenanigans, Office Christmas Party educates as it embroils.
Through the magic of Christmas, Clay and Carol stop fighting and come together as a family, while several hilarious subordinates find the partner they've been so shyly seeking.
Lumps are taken, yet necessary risks ridiculously refine surefire stabilities, and remarkably steady technologies cyberspatially save the day.
Dionysian balance.
Brainiac mirth.
Certainly an adult themed Christmas film that sets a bizarro example, Office Christmas Party still excels at letting loose just in time for the holiday season.
Some scenes could have been cut, and a bit more time could have been spent editing the script, but the highs olympianly outweigh the lows, and it's definitely worth checking out.
With so many supporting voices delivering strong orations, it must have been tough for Jillian Bell to outshine them all.
But that's exactly what she does.
Second place going to Randall Park (Fred).
Rob Corddry (Jeremy) needs better material!
