As the functional title suggests, Office Christmas Party is a routine and predictable trudge that basically said it all in the trailer, admittedly with a few smiles raised along the way (mostly in well-delivered throwaway lines). Writing and plotting are simple, but the performances range from reliable (Jason Bateman, TJ Miller, Olivia Munn) to some nicely-used playing against type (Kate McKinnon as the uptight HR lady, Jennifer Aniston as the unforgiving executive, Courtney B Vance letting it all go). There is nothing particularly memorable here, but it does have a feel-good ending and some enjoyable out-takes over the end credits.
