A corporate team-building retreat goes way bad in Corporate Animals, written by Sam Bain and directed by Patrick Brice. From the jump, it’s a great hook. That plus a funny-enough opening promo, in which the company in question is glibly promoted by its CEO Lucy (Demi Moore), makes a promise bigger than the rest of the film can keep.
Early on in an ill-advised hiking excursion, the employees of Incredible Edibles find themselves trapped underground. As obtuse tour guide Brandon (Ed Helms) attempts to find a way out, gossip floats about regarding the solvency of the business, Lucy’s insane decisions, and one particular potential promotion. Jess (Jessica Williams) and Freddie (Karan Soni) are both certain they are shoo-ins for an upgrade within the company, facing off against each other as potential rivals while the rest of the group loses hope. All but Lucy, of course. Her ego is too large to consider failure.
