What happens

Extract is a 2009 American comedy film written and directed by Mike Judge, about the owner of a small flavor extract company balancing problems at work and in his home life. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Kristen Wiig, and Ben Affleck, with J. K. Simmons, Clifton Collins Jr., and Dustin Milligan. Judge described Extract as his companion piece to Office Space (1999), being focused on the boss's perspective rather than the workers'. The director relied on his own knowledge of the industrial world having actually worked in a factory, and much of the film was shot in a working water bottling plant in City of Commerce, California. Extract was theatrically released in the United States on September 4, 2009. It received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $10.8 million worldwide against a budget of $8 million.
