Leave your thoughts about Corporate Animals.
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerCorporate Animals, a dark comedy with horrific undertones that should draw upon many of their previous experiences, never feels especially relatable. |
| Rolling StoneDavid FearThe one thing this Corporate Animals has going for it — the reason you may wanna plunk down cash to see it regardless — is Demi Moore. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaThe biting commentary on modern business never really makes an imprint. |
| The PlaylistJordan RuimyA film that features a few fantastic comedic highlights unfortunately weighed down by a misfired performance from its lead actress. The result is an occasionally funny, inventive, but inconsequential, feature. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloImagine “Office Space” with forgettable characters and nothing to say about this next bleak phase of the business world. |
| VarietyAmy NicholsonCorporate Animals is a character sketch in search of a plot. |
| Screen InternationalAnthony KaufmanFeels like a Saturday Night Live skit that’s been stretched out over 90 minutes. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreMoore, doing a variation of her vile “Disclosure” character from back in the ’90s, makes a fine foil for the others, who only need sharper lines and more inventive situations to give this picture a chance. Which it never has. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiMoore, by the way, has never been a comic genius. The woman has played Hester Prynne — not the Laugh Factory. Still, she keeps giving the yuks the old college try. Here, the usually easeful actress cranks things up to Ludicrous Speed, and comes off like a drugged-up yogi. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeVeteran comic actors make the most of the not very original (though well-timed) one-liners the script gives them. But the movie's last act drags almost as slowly for viewers as for the gang in the cave, and the story's resolution is no better. |
