Goofs

When Carol confronts Josh and Clay in Clay's office after the meeting, she picks up a notebook with the layoffs list she has made. But when we cut to Josh or Clay for their reactions to Carol's demands, we can see the left-hand corner page of Carol's notebook is black; there isn't a list.

Quotes

Mary: [enters the empty, now-trashed office] Hey, guys, I got doughnuts! I got, uh, jelly and glazed and, uh, some other stuff. But no Cronuts, that's a bastard pastry.
[runs into Jeremy]
Jeremy: I still hate your rules. But your dancing is wild and free. Like an unmanned fire hose.
Mary: [looks at him below his waist] Put your pants on.
[turns/walks away]
Mary: For now.

Crazy Credits

After the Paramount Pictures logo ends it goes directly to the Dreamworks Pictures logo, and when the Reliance Entertainment almost ends, a star is added on top of the "A" and four black dots is added on the bottom of the "A" and when the logo is fading out the "A" on the logo is changed to a Christmas tree on a pie in the office. During these logos a mix of ''Merry Christmas and happy new year'' and "Deck The Halls" is played.

Well worth Watching

This film is R RATED and it milks that rating to great effect. This is not a politically correct and that is a huge blessing. This huge comedy ensemble is cast with the best in the business. the only 2 people that they missed was Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy (However they did cast her husband).

In this film an office is going to be closed because it not performing as well as the new CEO likes. So this office throws a major Christmas Blow Out Party in order to secure a big client and save the 200 jobs

The film has several laugh out loud moments that make this film very memorable. If you hate gross out frat boy humor stay away from this movie. If you don't mind then you will love this film.

This film is very funny. Over the upcoming years I expect to be catch on like "Office Space".
