Who doesn't love a good office Christmas party? Spiked egg nog, questionable pot luck dishes, awkward kisses in the copy room under the mistletoe, and loads of regret to carry into the following Monday. But the chance to see your co-workers cut loose and drop all of that stress is worth making a few foolish mistakes, and in the new holiday comedy Office Christmas Party those screwups lead to one wild night of drunken chaos.
Featuring an incredible comedic ensemble of Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Kate McKinnon, T.J. Miller, Olivia Munn, Jillian Bell, Rob Corddry, Vanessa Bayer, Karan Soni, Randall Park, Sam Richardson, Jamie Chung, and Courtney B. Vance, the film is exactly what its title implies. A crazy office Christmas party that goes off the rails just as everyone is fighting to save their jobs. If you're looking for the next It's A Wonderful Life this definitely isn't it, but I'm betting this will become an annual holiday favorite for a lot of folks.
I had the chance to speak with directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon so keep an eye out for that interview in a few days. Office Christmas Party opens December 9th.
