EXTRACT (15): On General Release Friday 23rd April

When a film gets a US release date eight months before we do, I have to ask some questions.

Did the studio think it was rubbish? Were the actors not famous enough at the time? Would the humour not translate with British audiences?

I guess we’ll never know why Extract is only being released in the UK now, but I’m grateful we’re getting it at all because it’s not half bad.

Jason Bateman stars as Joel, the sexually frustrated owner of an extract factory. After an accident on the factory floor leaves one of his workers minus one testicle, con woman Cindy (Mila Kunis) steps in to get her hands on some of the settlement money. Joel becomes infatuated with her but can only justify an affair if his wife Suzie (Kristen Wiig) has one first. Do It!
