Cinematical is absolutely, positively pumped up to be bringing you the debut teaser trailer for Mike Judge's Extract, starring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck, Kristen Wiig and J.K. Simmons. I'm a huge Judge fan; been following the dude since way back during his Beavis and Butthead days, and haven't really disliked anything he's put out. Folks have told me that Extract finds the writer-director returning to his Office Space-ish humor, and this teaser definitely shows some signs of that -- from the workplace mishaps to our hero's random romantic woes, classic Judge hilarity is watermarked all over this sucker.
Extract follows the personal and professional problems endured by the owner (Bateman) of a flower-extract plant, including a wife who won't sleep with him, a new hottie temp and ... Ben Affleck as a major stoner? Believe it. I think it's safe to say Judd Apatow's Funny People now has some serious competition when it comes to funniest film of the summer because this little sucker just shot up to numero uno on my anticipation list. What about you? Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think. Extract hits theaters on September 4.

If this is being released on September 4, why are you calling this a summer comedy? It's ineligible for the funniest film of the summer competition.
Having said that, this definitely looks funny, but I'm still anticipating Funny People more.

Labor Day weekend is still summer, in my opinion. It's the end of summer, but still summer.

Most people don't consider the first weekend in September a summer movie weekend, so I agree. This, while it looks hilarious, doesn't count as a summer movie. And Funny People still peaks my interest more.

Oh yay. Another "being a white guy is hard and a bummer mainly because they have to marry women who wear gross sweats and don't have sex with them once they get married and the only light at the end of the tunnel is a hot younger girl to objectify" movie. woo. hoo.

I know, I'm glad a movie finally speaks to my demographic. I hope his prude wife dies in a tragic bus explosion and he gets to impregnate Mila Kunis, just so he can skip out on child support a few weeks later! Hooray MEN!

This has to be better than Idiocracy.
Rachael, you should probably relax. That kind of anger just can't be healthy, really.

Well Matt, Idiocracy wasn't a bad movie so hopefully this one is as funny or funnier.

Hell YES!!! Man I've been waiting for Mike Judge to finally come out with something that could match Office Space, and I think this could be it! Can't wait to see this one!

Looks broader than his other movies but still looks hilarious. Office Space and Idiocracy are two of my all time faves :)

Yes, we need more comedies! Always liked the song "Free Ride", but who does the first song in the trailer? Very catchy. Hope there's a soundtrack.
