Not funny!!!! BUT enjoyable
25 December 2019 | by tdrishSee all my reviews

Flat jokes, rubbish humor, and cliche acts helms the world of Office Christmas Party, a movie that may not make you laugh out loud, but will pass the time pleasurable. When his sister threatens to shut down his brothers branch due to lack of funds, disaster looms right around the corner. That was one thing. Then, she makes an attempt to put a stop to their office Christmas party. That's not happening. Party goes awry, and things go out of control fast. Now, if you're expecting the nonstop laughs, you will be disappointed. It can be a fun movie, but it can be a stupid movie all around, depending on your mood and how you want to look at it. Myself, I thought it was a stupid movie all the way around. I'm giving it 6 stars, however, because I feel sorry for the lab monkeys who wrote the script. It's not bad, coming from lab monkeys. I refuse to believe a human being wrote the script.
