Comedy An office's holiday party goes horribly wrong. When uptight Zenotek CEO Carol Vanstone (Jennifer Aniston) tries to close the branch of her hard-partying brother Clay (T. J. Miller), he and his Chief Technical Officer must rally their co-workers and host an epic office Christmas party in an effort to impress a potential client and close a sale that will save their jobs. But the party gets way out of hand.

United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"'Office Christmas' Party hasn’t the slightest satiric edge (...) It's a frenetic grab bag of strained shtick, however expertly delivered by ace comic performers"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Despite the eminently likable ensemble cast (...) the individual parts never come close to fully meshing into a quality team effort. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"The greatest strength of Office Christmas Party is its casting. If you’ve got fabulous weirdos Kate McKinnon and T.J. Miller in lead roles, there are bound to be more than enough laughs"	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"The film’s success is due to the twinkly commitment of the large and talented cast (...)

United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"A busy but witless and stale comedy that rehashes every raunchy gag we expect from R-rated comedies"	NEG
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"'Office' isn't nearly as nihilistic as its veneer; beneath all the criminal mischief and baby-Jesus jokes there's still heart of gold, or at le"	POS
United Kingdom	Simon Crook Empire	"Another irresponsible-adults comedy, another great cast, and another erratic script (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The movie wants to channel the anarchic spirit of National Lampoon productions and movies like 'Bachelor Party,' where a donkey dies in the elevator, and it succeeds to a degree"	POS
United Kingdom	John Hazelton Screendaily	"This scattershot gross-out comedy ends up producing chuckles rather than real laughs, even with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman re-teaming on screen"	NEU
