Although his business is successful , his marriage lacks passion . It does not help that he is also often accosted by his annoying neighbor , Nathan ( David Koechner ) . One day , a series of mishaps occur at the extract factory , resulting in an employee , Step ( Clifton Collins , Jr . ) , losing a testicle . Cindy ( Mila Kunis ) , a con artist and drifter , reads a news story about the accident . Hatching a get - rich - quick scheme , she gets a temporary job at the factory , flirting with Joel in order to manipulate him into giving her more information about Step . She also begins a series of petty thefts from her co-workers , who openly accuse each other of the thefts . Although Step initially decides not to sue the company , he changes his mind after a `` chance meeting '' with Cindy ( that she sets up in order to meet and flirt with him ) . Under Cindy 's influence , Step hires ambulance chaser attorney Joe Adler ( Gene Simmons ) . Joel , unhappy in his marriage and mistaking Cindy 's manipulations for genuine attraction to him , entertains the idea of an affair with Cindy ; however , he still loves his wife , and wants to avoid actions that would leave him with regrets later . While visiting his friend Dean ( Ben Affleck ) and complaining about his situation , Dean suggests that Joel hire a gigolo to seduce his wife , so that Joel can then have a guilt - free `` revenge '' affair . Joel initially balks at the idea ; but , after his judgment is impaired after ingesting a ketamine tablet that Dean mistakenly told him was just a Xanax , Joel eventually agrees . The friends hire Brad ( Dustin Milligan ) to seduce his wife Suzie ( Kristen Wiig ) into an affair , while posing as the pool cleaner . The next morning , Joel sobers up , realizes what he has done , and tries to stop Brad from going to his house ; but by then , Brad and Suzie have already begun an affair . Things backfire further , as Brad falls in love with Suzie and wants to run away with her . After smoking marijuana with Dean and his friend Willie , Joel attempts to call Cindy , but soon realizes that he is calling Willie 's number . Just then , Cindy walks into the apartment . Willie realizes that Joel is trying to get with Cindy ( who lives with Willie ) , and , infuriated , punches Joel in the face . Joel meets with Adler and his associates , in the factory office , to discuss the terms of the settlement for Step . The workers , believing that the meeting is about a buy - out of the factory by General Mills , organize a strike . Frustrated by Adler 's uncompromising negotiating style and the growing disrespect from his employees , Joel storms out and goes home -- where Suzie admits her affair with Brad to him . Joel admits to Suzie that he hired Brad to do it , then leaves after arguing with his wife . Joel moves into a motel , where he spots Cindy , staying in another room . When he goes to her room , he notices a purse stolen from one of his employees , along with other stolen items , and realizes that Cindy is not only a thief , but is also behind a lot of the company 's problems . Joel threatens to call the police , but softens when Cindy breaks down in tears . Cindy promises to talk to Step and get him to drop the lawsuit . Ultimately , the two spend the night together . The next morning , Cindy disappears , but leaves the stolen items behind . Step meets with Joel at the factory , where he offers to drop the lawsuit if Joel promotes him to floor manager . Meanwhile , while cleaning the pool herself , Nathan stops by and Suzie loses her temper , finally telling him what she really thinks of him and all the things Joel probably wanted to say to him , and just as she finishes her tirade , he collapses and dies . Feeling guilty , Suzie attends the funeral , where she runs into Joel . After a few awkward moments , the two agree to share a ride later , hinting at a possible reconciliation . It is revealed that Cindy has scammed Adler , too : she steals his luxury car , leaving him Step 's truck in its place .

Shortly after completing Office Space ( 1999 ) , director Mike Judge was already about 40 pages into his follow - up script , set in the world of an extract factory , when he was convinced by his representative team that he needed to shelve that and concentrate on something more commercial . `` The only idea that I had that anyone was interested in was what eventually became Idiocracy , '' says Judge . Over the next several years he focused his energy on developing Idiocracy . But years later , by the time of the film 's release , audiences had decided that Office Space had struck a chord , and they were ready to see Judge return to on - the - job humor and thus the Extract script was given new life . Seeking to keep Extract below the radar of the studio system , Judge and his producers set up a production company , Ternion Productions , and arranged private financing -- while partnering with Miramax for domestic distribution of the film . Judge relied heavily on his own personal knowledge of the industrial world to bring the story to life . `` I actually worked in a factory a little bit myself , '' the director stated . `` I hopefully write stuff that is recognizable as the archetypes of this world . '' Keeping true to this baseline of reality , `` Extract '' was shot in a working factory , in this case a water bottling plant south of Los Angeles , in the City of Commerce . Judge took the authenticity one step further by using the plant 's employees as extras in the scenes ' backgrounds . `` Those people were actually running , doing some bottling while we were shooting . There were people working on machines that were so loud in there they could n't hear anyone call ' action ' or ' cut . ' They were just doing their job . '' Shooting on the factory set led Judge to some epiphanies about what made the story resonate for him : `` Office Space was told from the point of view of the employees looking up at management as the ' bad guys ' . This is told from the point of view of the owner of the place and the workers are the big pain in the butt to him . I think partly it was inspired by that point in my life where I suddenly had a large number of people working for me and realizing you ca n't be a ' cool guy boss ' . It just does n't work . So this is my more sympathetic take on the boss . '' Release ( edit ) Marketing ( edit ) Leading up to the film 's release , Affleck went on a promotional tour of various cities , starting in Vancouver , Washington , on August 20 , 2009 , and ending in Los Angeles on September 14 , 2009 . In an effort to promote the film , Judge released a promotional short which featured his characters Beavis and Butt - head who summarize , and critique , the events depicted in the film . Home media ( edit ) Extract was released on DVD and Blu - ray Disc on December 22 , 2009 . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Extract made $4.3 million during its opening weekend and $7.1 million in its first week of release , with a total worldwide gross of 10.8 million , against a production budget of $8 million . Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 62 % based on 185 reviews , with an average rating of 5.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Extract has some very funny moments and several fine performances , but the film feels slighter and more uneven than Mike Judge 's previous work . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating to reviews , the film has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 , based on 33 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews . '' Dan Zak of the Washington Post , called it `` the most disappointing American comedy of the decade '' . On the other end of the spectrum , Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune called it `` the funniest American comedy of the summer '' . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` EXTRACT ( 15 ) '' .
