Ranking December's Movies From Worst To Best
13. Office Christmas Party
RottenTomatoes Score: 42% (4.8/10)
Box Office: Made for a mid-range $45 million, the festive R-rated comedy opened slightly above expectations and has almost doubled its budget to date. Expect it to also turn in solid profits on the home video circuit next Christmas.
Verdict: It's not big or clever, but Office Christmas Party is a totally watchable romp, even if that's more down to the charming cast (especially Jason Bateman, T.J. Miller and Jennifer Aniston) than the scattershot script.
The humour is hugely hit-and-miss and a number of terrific supporting comedians are criminally wasted (especially Rob Corddry), but as a holiday-themed take on The Hangover formula, it's really not that bad.
