Office Christmas Party (Paramount, 3,210 theaters, 105 Minutes, Rated R for crude sexual content and language throughout, drug use and graphic nudity, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/office_christmas_party\/\">44% Fresh <\/a>[86 reviews]): <\/strong>When his sister Carol (Jennifer Aniston) wants to close his branch, Clay Vanstone (T.J. Miller) throws an awesome Christmas party for his office and invites a client he wants to impress. Things get quickly out of hand and Clay needs to work fast to save everyone&#8217;s jobs.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it. You don&#8217;t have to work in big business to know that&#8217;s not how big business works. That&#8217;s not how any business works. But it&#8217;s a comedy and I guess we should just roll with it.<\/p>\n<p>The reviews are lukewarm but I am still interested in seeing this. I&#8217;ve paid good money to see almost every member of the cast on their lonesome. Seeing them all work together has to be better than the reviews indicate.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d1Yyr1KoFG0\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-39613\" src=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/New-Releases-miss-sloane-poster-225x339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/New-Releases-miss-sloane-poster-225x339.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/New-Releases-miss-sloane-poster.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>2. Miss Sloane (Opening Wide, EuropaCorp, 1,598 Theaters, 132 Minutes, Rated R for language and some sexuality, <b>Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/miss_sloane\/\">65% Fresh <\/a>[77 reviews]): <\/b><\/strong>I thought it would take a lot to make a cinematic hero out of a lobbyist, but I guess having them take on the gun lobby is one way to go. And that is what this film does.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Chastain plays an uberlobbyist, one that gets whatever she wants by whatever means necessary. However, she gets more than she can handle when the 2nd Amendment people. It&#8217;s the irresistible force versus the immovable object. And this is one fight Miss Sloane might not win.<\/p>\n<p>This is an Oscar caliber leading lady paired with an Oscar caliber director (John Madden). Taking that into consideration, you&#8217;d expect that the reviews would have been better. But there is Oscar buzz about Chastain&#8217;s performance. Oscar watchers, this one might be worth a look.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PeyfPWZ4FCQ\" width=\"675\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">All-star casts are a feature of our new releases this week as OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY opens and MISS SLOANE goes wide.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2016\/12\/09\/new-releases-december-9-2016\/\" title=\"New Releases: December 9, 2016\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":39614,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[8404,2040,8656,8644,8385,286,8655],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-39612","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-europacorp","9":"tag-jennifer-aniston","10":"tag-john-madden","11":"tag-miss-sloane","12":"tag-office-christmas-party","13":"tag-paramount","14":"tag-t-j-miller"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2,4],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39614"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39612"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=39612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
