Mike Judge's latest ode to workplace malaise wasn't a huge hit by any means, but is a worthwhile pickup on DVD. Jason Bateman stars as Joel, the head of Reynold's Extract, a company that produces flavor extracts. His company is on the verge of being sold by General Mills, but a workplace accident that leaves a trusted employee permanently injured (in a most tender region) threatens to derail that sale, which would allow Joel and his chief lieutenant (J.K. Simmons, as wonderfully dry as ever) to retire.
