Critics Consensus

Corporate culture may seem like easy pickings for satire, but the middling Corporate Animals proves even the broadest targets can be missed.

A miserable time in poor company.

Los Angeles Times

[P]oor Demi Moore - playing the self-centered CEO of a failing company - comes off as stiff and shrill, setting the tone for a movie that's stilted from start to finish.

Observer

It's good to have Demi Moore making a comeback after a prolonged absence from the screen, but not in a load of unmitigated crap called Corporate Animals.

Rated: 0/4

Ben Flanagan

Vague Visages

Brice and company get too tied up in the character comedy for Corporate Animals to work as a satire, and the televisual filmmaking isn’t helped by a plotline that could have been a single episode of The Office.

The Digital Fix

Director Patrick Brice's film presents itself as a comedy and you might be of the mindset that there should be enough talent there to raise a few laughs. It doesn't.

Rated: 3/10

If you're going to do deadpan humor, don't explain every joke. If you're going to do an ensemble piece, maybe don't have twice as many people as you need.

Not just worst movie in the past year, one of the worst ever. I don't see how this movie ever could have been made without the TV series The Office having come before it. Cringeworthy like the office, but with attempts at gross-out humor that don't land.

Sets up good, then takes the plot in one bad direction after another.

This is the darkest film ever. I realise they are trapped in a cave but we can't see anything. And that is a huge problem with a comedy film. If you can't see the actors faces or body movements then it's not funny. It also feels horribly unoriginal hollow Hollywood waste of effort. The characters are just about watchable enough to stay with the film to the end, but only just. Try Severance (2006) for a better version of the exact same film. Or The Descent (2005) if you want to watch something set in a cave.
