Trivia

Carol (Jennifer Aniston) and Clay (T.J. Miller)'s dad appears twice in two separate photographs shown within the film - one is a portrait hanging in Clay's office and the other is a Polaroid that Clay keeps on him. It is very apparent that Carol and Clay's dad is actually Jason Bateman (Josh) wearing a wig. See more »

Quotes

Drew: [speaking with a British accent] The English band, the Arctic Monkeys? You were supposed to see them with your friend Lindsey, you were like, "I can't go," because you couldn't get a babysitter?
Allison: Did you hack into my emails? Get the fuck out of here! And never use that British accent again!

Another raunchy comedy about partying hard and finding your inner cool
25 December 2016 | by kaptenvideo-89875See all my reviews

When his uptight CEO sister threatens to shut down his branch, the manager throws an epic Christmas party in order to land a big client and save the day...

Yes, it's another raunchy American comedy about partying hard and finding your inner cool, starring Jason Bateman doing his regular Bateman (warm humble regular joe who just wants to play it straight), Jennifer Aniston doing her regular 2010's comedy Jennifer Aniston (ice queen who turns out to be pretty awesome after all), and bunch of whats-his/her-names you are sure you remember from other movies somewhere.

It's a very by-the-numbers comedy offering nothing that you have not seen too many times before. But the package's tight, so it works fine, especially on the big screen.

Two notes of interest: the two most memorable characters here are both women, a pimp and an Uber driver. I would love to see Fortune Feimster (the latter) starring in her own movie, comedy or otherwise.
