There's always good chemistry for comedy when you put Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman together in a comedy. However they were playing quite opposite each other this time. While the story centers around a brother and sister's styles of management, it ultimately comes down to the importance of the party. T.J. Miller plays the childlike and very caring Clay Vanstone trying to be reminiscent of his father's leisurely, yet employee-friendly style of management but his sister Caroll (Anniston) trying to take her brother down who had a more favorable relationship with their deceased father. Meanwhile the real management is Bateman and Olivia Munn, making their division strong. Because of the sibling animosity, CEO Carol Vanstone threaten to close the division. So the antics ensue.
In the background of this movie are strong comedic performances from Kate McKinnon, Randall Park, "Ballers" star. Rob Corddry, Randall Park, Sam Richardson and Karan Soni. Surprisingly Courtney Vance gives us a few laughs as well.
This one is not for the kids, politically correct or conservative, it does invoke a sense of dysfunctional work family. There is a lot of sexual content and bad behavior, but the to me it is a few laughs but not enough for a second viewing.
