Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Office Christmas Party earns its spot. Office Christmas Party does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. When Carol Vanstone, CEO of the technology company Zenotek, expresses her intention to close the Chicago branch, run by her brother Clay, he and his co-workers organize a Christmas party in an effort to impress a potential client and save their jobs. But the party gets out of control… The chemistry Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2016. The timing in Office Christmas Party is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Office Christmas Party. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Jason Bateman is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
