For a comedy, "Extract" is kinda depressing. Understand that wildly dysfunctional characters have become the norm in American comedies, but the characters in "Extract" give dysfunction a bad name. Not a single person in this ensemble comedy doesn't suffer from colossal stupidity. Nor does anyone possess a moral compass.

"Extract" might be live action, but it still plays like a cartoon.
