Jennifer Aniston forgets to remove sales tag

Office Christmas Party hits cinemas worldwide from this week.

“Blades of Glory” directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck don’t connect the dots between people having a few drinks and pushing vending machines out of skyscraper windows.

Reflecting on all the insane things that happen in “Office Christmas Party”, Bateman chuckled, “This film clearly proves you can have as wild a time in Chicago as you can have anywhere in the world – unless you follow the Bears this year!” With this and the cult-favorite “Office Space”, perhaps she should make more movies with the word “Office” in the title. This is the fifth collaboration between the two (The Break-Up, The Switch, Horrible Bosses and Horrible Bosses 2), and that experience shows. T.J. Miller, one of the rare comedians whose mere presence is amusing, plays Clay Vanstone.

She went to reveal, regarding the incident that occurred on Monday in NY: ‘I wore that coat at least four times’. And yes, we’ve seen her do this, in movies like “Ghostbusters”. “Also, using a hacksaw I cut an empty keg in half and wore it as a hat, which was not as amusing as when you wear a lampshade as a hat, it’s much heavier”.

Anniston plays Carol Vanstone, the temporary CEO of a large IT company. Here, he’s the head of Zenotek’s Chicago branch, a position inherited from his late father.

Along the way, there’s a healthy dose of cynicism and a half-hearted satire of office politics and corporate greed that spawns a couple of third-act twists that are quite the party pooper. And while she’s at it, she’s canceling the office wine-and-cheese reception, ho ho ho. The movie’s slim premise is that if Clay and Josh can throw a party wild enough to impress a major client, Walter Davis (Courtney B. Vance, cast against dignified type), they can save the business. The writers take the stereotypes and give them a bigger office with a bigger budget party complete with a horse galloping through, real babies for the Nativity scene and Chicago Cubs baseball player Jimmy Butler in a cameo.

“What I don’t like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day”. But they manage to throw together a massive affair in record time, and soon seemingly nearly all of Chicago is there, getting wild.

Things are, of course, much tamer now, and morale is the worse for it. His Grinchy-as-hell sister, Carol (Jennifer Aniston), intends to shut the place down after Christmas if her brother can’t come up with a money-making fix.

There are some amusing bits, to be sure.
