Here are some Office Christmas Party reviews from imbd

Positive Reviews

"I just wish I could get to a party like that! Overall just a great fun film. Along with lots of childish humor! What's not to like? Just watch it and enjoy and smile."

"The Hangover Christmas."

"Funny and fun. It looked a lot like the silly sort of thing that Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and/or James Franco would appear in. The fact that it starred Jason Bateman gave me some hope and from the beginning, the hope was vindicated."

Mixed Reviews

"Bateman and Munn hold the film together by holding the attention of the viewer. Is it funny? Not really. Is it engaging? Well, because of Bateman and Munn, actually it is."

"I understand why people might be down on this movie, but I really enjoyed it. It had the right elements of the great party comedy. Great cast. Great party. Maybe I really enjoyed it because I was drinking along with it and wanted it to be good."

Incorporating Reviews

"Welcome to the wildest office party of the year! 'Office Christmas Party' brings together a talented cast in a comedy caper that promises laughter, chaos, and maybe a bit of holiday cheer. But, as with any festive celebration, this Christmas comedy is as varied as the antics that unfold within it."

Critical Reviews

"If you skip one Xmas party this year, then make it 'Office Christmas Party.' A criminally unfunny and underdeveloped high concept comedy, trying to recapture that Hangover like tone, Blades of Glory directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck fail to ignite the spirit of Xmas with this comedy caper."

"What a waste of a potentially funny talented cast. This year's big-budget Christmas movie has about 10% of it that is funny - the rest is painful crude and unfunny. The premise has some potential but things run out of steam quickly."

As the credits roll on 'Office Christmas Party,' it's evident that opinions are as diverse as the characters in this holiday extravaganza. Whether you're in it for the wild ride, the outrageous humour, or just to witness a different kind of Christmas celebration, this film has a little something for everyone. 

So, grab your popcorn, brace yourself for the unexpected, and decide for yourself if this office party is one worth attending!"

Remember, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is with laughter, and "Office Christmas Party" delivers it in abundance!
